• Input Health: The Input Health COVID-19 Navigation Tool will be launching in Oxford on April 14. Patients will be able to perform a self-assessment at covid19checkup.ca, and if they meet criteria, will have an opportunity to book a phone appointment with their PCP or an on-call physician. The tool also lets local public health agencies compile valuable information about probable cases in the community who may not qualify for testing. If you are interested in signing up for Input Health for your own practice, please email joincovid19@llfho.com with your name, CPSO/CNO #, county of practice, and mobile phone number. A demo video for the Input Health navigation tool can be found here. We are working on integrating this tool into the telephone triage line based out of Woodstock Hospital - more to come on this soon!

• Temporary Practice Change for Death Certificates: please see a memo from Dr. Jitin Sondhi, SW Palliative Care Lead

• Prescription Renewals: All pharmacists are currently directed to fill 30 day supply only. Here's a message you could use with your patients to help explain this: "I renewed your usual 3 months of medication but your pharmacist is only allowed to give you 30 days right now to ensure there is enough for everyone. The refills will be there when you need them and they will give you more when they are able to."
