- DBH COVID-19 Q&A
- DMH Management of COVID-19 Positive Patients - This is a policy that DMH has established for use in DBH and DD inpatient and residential facilities. The policy contains information for how DMH will manage COVID positive individuals within DMH facilities. This policy is being shared an FYI to community providers in case any of the information could be useful for reference. This is only for your information and as a potential resource. It is NOT policy that DMH expects providers to implement.
- Updated DMH Return to Work Criteria - This is the Department’s updated/revised guidelines regarding when facility-based employees who have been COVID-impacted may return to work. This is offered to you only as an FYI and potential resource. This is NOT DMH’s expectations for community-based providers.
- COVID-19 CMS Expands Telehealth Press Release Final
- The forms below were developed by DBH, an initiative led by our CMD Angeline Stanislaus, for use at our state operated facilities. Those of you who have congregate, residential, or comparable environments may find some of this information helpful – you may modify for other populations or outpatient settings. This is not a directive for use, just a potential resource.
