Crisis Standards of Care:

Open Letter to the Community

We thank you for allowing Beverly Hospital to be your health care provider of choice and to serve you and the community for over 70 years. We are in unprecedented times as the current pandemic has continued and the number of people needing healthcare is increasing.

Over the next few days and weeks, like many healthcare facilities, we may be faced with decisions when the demands exceed our resources. We may experience resource limitations in ICU beds, life support equipment (such as breathing machines), and healthy doctors and hospital staff.

Beverly Hospital has plans in place to meet the increasing demands, but there may come a time when those demands exceed our surge capacity and we may need to implement crisis standards of care. If we reach that crisis point, Beverly Hospital has a multidisciplinary team of physicians, hospital personnel, and community members to review the cases of persons who are critically ill. This team will make decisions on the allocation of the limited resources and will utilize criteria that is being used throughout California, the nation, and the world. The team will not be given information related to sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, immigration status, financial status, or insurance status as part of the decision-making process.

What this means to you, your family, or your representative:

  1. The patient, family member, or patient representative may be unable to make decisions regarding the patient’s care during a public health emergency.
    • Talk with your family or representative about your healthcare wishes.
    • Discuss any medical conditions you may have.
    • Discuss any healthcare directives you have or complete an advanced healthcare directive.
    • Specify which treatments you want such as blood transfusions, breathing tube, breathing machines, dialysis, surgeries, and decisions to prolong life.
    • Identify one person to be your representative should you be unable to communicate your desires.
  2. Should you require ICU care, a breathing machine (ventilator), or other increased care, and the needs exceed our capacity, your case will be reviewed, along with other patient cases, to determine how best to utilize the available resources.
  3. If you become extremely sick and are unlikely to survive despite life-saving treatment, limited resources may be allocated to others who have a better chance at survival.
  4. If a decision is made to stop or withdraw treatment, you (family member or patient representative) have the right to discuss this decision with your doctor. All efforts will be made to ensure that the patient is comfortable and free of pain.

This is a difficult time for our community. Our doctors, nurses, and hospital personnel are working to provide the best possible care. We ask that you help by wearing a mask, practicing frequent hand washing, maintaining social distancing, avoiding gatherings including those with family and friends, and becoming vaccinated, when available, in order to prevent the continued spread of this disease.

Donate To Help Fight COVID-19:

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the demand for personal protection supplies increases while resources from suppliers are strained due to availability and production and shipping capacity. Healthcare workers at Beverly Hospital may have the supplies and equipment to care for patients with COVID-19 now. However, the number of COVID-19 cases is expected to continue to grow and we want to be prepared. Beverly Hospital is turning to the community for help and asking for protective supply donations. If you are able to, please visit the donation page and or share this information.

A Basic Overview On Coronavirus (COVID-19):

    • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in Wuhan, China. It has now been detected in more than 100 locations internationally, including in the United States. The disease has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”) and the virus that causes it is named “SARS-CoV-2”.
    • Coronavirus (COVID-19) can be spread by person-to-person transmission.
    • Currently there are 3 (Pzifer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson) vaccines available to help protect against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They are being rolled out based on a phased approach. Other vaccines are still being developed and are going through trials. Please be aware of scams regarding these vaccines. Do not take any fake vaccine/treatment claiming to treat COVID. Be wary of false sources on social media claiming to provide the vaccine.

Ways people are being targeted are through social media, fake websites, online marketplaces, robo calls or spam text messages, door to door, and so on. The safety of you and your family and friends matter. Please take the opportunity to discuss this with them:

    • Be aware of any fake Coronavirus (COVID-19) Tests, Vaccines and Treatments being advertised on places like social media or online marketplaces. Utilizing any fraudulent treatments may cause harm to you or your loved ones. For more information, please visit the FDA Article HERE.
