10/13/2022 - MonkeyPox Update
Quick summary of signs/symptoms:
• Monkeypox symptoms usually start within three weeks of exposure to the virus. A rash of pustule-like lesions usually is the definitive sign of Monkeypox infection.
• The rash may be located on or near the genitals (penis, testicles, labia, and vagina) or anus, but could also be in other areas like the hands, feet, chest, face, or mouth. 
  • The rash will go through several stages, including scabs, before healing
  • The rash can look like pimples or blisters and may be painful or itchy. 
  • Sometimes people get the rash first, followed by other symptoms. Others will only experience the rash. 
• Monkeypox can be spread from the time symptoms start until the rash has healed, all scabs have fallen off, and a fresh layer of skin has formed. The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks. 
• Occasionally, the definitive Monkeypox rash is preceded by a prodrome of influenza-like illness. 
Those symptoms include: 
  • Headache 
  • Fever 
  • Muscle aches and backache 
  • Swollen lymph nodes 
  • Chills 
  • Exhaustion (usually severe) 
  • Respiratory symptoms (sore throat, nasal congestion, cough)
 
Protection (PPE) Recommendations for HealthCare Staff:
Protection for Healthcare Personnel Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn when caring for a patient who is suspected to have Monkeypox. 
• Gown 
• Gloves 
• Eye protection (goggles or a face shield) 
• N95 or NIOSH-approved particulate respirator
 
Education for patients:
• Isolate until test results come back negative. 
• If results come back positive, patient must isolate until rash has fully resolved, the scabs have fallen off, and a fresh layer of intact skin has formed. 
• Friends, family, or others without an essential need to be in the home should not visit. 
• Avoid close contact with others. 
• Avoid close contact with pets in the home and other animals. 
• Do not engage in sexual activity that involves direct physical contact. 
• Do not share potentially contaminated items, such as bed linens, clothing, towels, wash cloths, drinking glasses or eating utensils

Kaniksu Employee Covid Vaccine Mandate In Effect

Employee Covid Vaccine In Effect 1.18.2022 - We need you and want you here - please talk to us about your questions or concerns

1.18.2022 email from Kevin Knepper

US Supreme Court ruled in favor of CMS and reinstated the vaccine mandate that KCH had started to implement in December of last year, but paused until the legal challenges worked their way through the courts.   
As the US Supreme Court is the final say on the matter, we must take up the mandate again and finish the work of compliance.  As was before proof of compliance is either:
  • Fully Vaccinated with two doses of Pfizer or Moderna, or a single dose of Johnson & Johnson
  • or… a KCH accepted Vaccine Exemption for religious or medical reasons.
Meagan Forge, Director of Human Resources will be in contact with KCH team members who have outstanding information  to make sure we assist you in compliance with the Mandate.
We are working toward a February 14th completion date.
If you have questions or concerns please speak with your Leadership Team member, Meagan Forge and of course you can always contact me.
We need and want you here…this will be ok,
Kevin

I wanted to give major kudos to triage nurse, Susan. There have been several times lately that I have needed some help or had questions. She has been so helpful and I really appreciate her! 
Patient Kudos


A patient called this morning just to say "thank you" to Kendall's team for sending in RX refill for her without any troubles. She said we are all great and make everything very easy for her. She can be seen in a timely manner and that's very convenient for her.
​Patient Kudos

Bridget is so wonderful and helpful at the front desk. I appreciate her positive attitude and her compassionate care towards our patients. This evening I saw her sitting with and assisting an elderly patient with her paperwork and I just wanted to recognize her for going the extra mile.
