Concept

Other General Topics

  • Infusion centers are considered ‘essential services’ and should remain open during any prolonged lockdown periods
  • In order to maintain resilience of service, consider merging IBD infusion services with other infusion practices (rheumatology, dermatology, oncology)
  • Unnecessary patient laboratory tests should be postponed in order to ease lab burdens
  • A change to at home infusions should not be routinely recommended as patients will no longer be able to receive proper screening, increased possibility of disease spread, difficulty in tracking, difficulty to ensure proper personnel training, and inefficient use of personnel time
