Erlanger Children's CEO warns don't let your Covid fears discourage other needed medical care

As we all trouble through this code relating together for everybody's mind when are healthcare facilities going to be safe again.

This morning as god your god is the your children's hospital at early do warning morning.tell it to me like it is his or her hospitals.

They'll say ... or the messaging will make sure everybody here is very sick you to we possibly could keep her patients safe as possible we are to checking people at the door.

We got restrictions on visitors.

We are all wearing masks all da long in the hospital in goggles as well were separating our quotations from other patients of the hospital is a safe as an place in the community ... , if not more safe to go to the grocery store.

The first sort your thoughts as a ceo about reopening such a model medical facility is children's hospital ... reopening is extremely importan for all of us really care needs of one of my major concerns right now is the fact that people are choosing to stay awa from the hospital because he worries about catching covert we seen a dramatic decrease in the order through utilization of the children saw as well.

The adult side.

The children saw outside is down 70%.

The adult size that we are percent worry about installation care.

So we get to reopening.

I will people understand we are open for business.

If you're having a culture emergency.

The first emergency room services do not wait just come to the hospital, we would be sick what these numbers are so far down 75%, 40%.

Why so much will i do think social distancing is helping us to get sick from getting sick were also not just any team sports.

The sports we are interested injuries normally have so there are some positive things about it.

What i really worried about is delayed here.

We've had some parents who chosen to not come to the hospital with her children needed as result, the one shot a broken arm, and it should go up quite some time because it was worried about the.

I'm worried about adult patients may have signs of stroke or a chest pain and they're reluctant to come t the hospital and be the immortality of the community.

It is so pick up the message or people here is also safe waste.

If you have hammered sealevel care.

The that you need please come to the hospital.

Wonders always been sort of forefront o telehealth when it comes to medical care are still offering this new telehealth is probably the best thing that ever happened because a coat and that sounds strange all of the restrictions around compliance and is the billing restrictions.

One way over.

Time but we see more than 1000 a.d. after the visit spewed telemedicine or service lines.

So there's lot of healthcare that actually took the telemedicine.

It's very efficient.

Parents can stay at the house.

Kids don't have to miss school during school.

We can do a great exam love the scraper case management, management disease, there are some reasons that you would nee to be seen by the doctor and physically seen in your business as well.

We got screen protocols in place so if you have an appointment we want to do is this: if you're well when you want to see the documents on, but we can also view telehealth visit that is more convenient make sense to treat sometimes people may not want to knowledg this with the further you put off going to the doctor seeing medical seeking medical care person.

The worst condition can get though it's important that you know that the facilities we have, such as jones hospital in her letter are open and they are open so you correct your cigarettes.

All of the materials to europe and linger in others.

In addition to the major message of what people here is that if you're having a problem and you need emergency room care, don't wait because sugar and up getting a lot sicker of licensed reforms. if you wait to get dressed really fast important if they're having trouble breathing that you give us a business where your picture you and your families and we don't want to be a scared of code you want to do something about ... the emergency that's at hand and get secure.thank you so much free time this morning.

We appreciate the clarification what's going on in both and children's hospital will be wil stay with
