An Outbreak Preparedness and Mitigation Approach in Home Health and Personal Home Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic	2020-06-02		.txt	text/plain	2232	107	44	A highly coordinated and frequently communicated approach to infection control, case identification and employee screening can be performed by home health and personal home care organizations. In this report, we present the mitigation methods we have utilized in our home health and personal home care affiliates in the 100 days since the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in the U.S. on January 20, 2020. In addition, we report a COVID-19 positive case series of home health and personal home care patients, summarizing our initial experience in supporting patients during the pandemic. In the 100-day period between January 20, 2020 and April 30, 2020, our home health and personal home care affiliates provided services to 67 COVID-19 positive patients (<0.3% of census). A highly coordinated and frequently communicated approach to infection control, case identification and caregiver and clinician screening can be performed by home health and personal home care organizations.	./cache/cord-025971-09u3kn1k.txt	./txt/cord-025971-09u3kn1k.txt
