PPE "Hub" now live
in LONDON- MIDDLESEX
A new
process and ordering system
has been launched to consistently address
urgent requests
for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) across the Ontario Health West Region.
The process for accessing PPE is as follows:
NON URGENT PPE
needs
(i.e., running low but not critical), please:
- Go through usual vendors to attain
- Access local donations. If unable to attain then...
- Submit a request to the Ontario Health West Portal
URGENT
PPE SHORTAGES:
submit your request through the
Ontario Health West Portal
to the local London Middlesex PPE Hub. A three-day supply of PPE will be provided based on availability of supply.
If you receive a response saying "request declined"
: the 'declined' message is for internal inventory communication that allows the central virtual warehouse to track inventory that needs to be sent to the Hub.
Since our Hub is also storing a limited supply of
Donated PPE,
the Hub volunteers will contact you immediately if
Donated Supply
is available.
Please note: the London Middlesex PPE Hub Volunteers will do their best to ensure that you do not run out of PPE.
Mandatory Reporting of PPE Inventory to MOHLTC
Physician offices and any organizations providing health care or social services requiring PPE
must report
their inventory levels
daily
to the Ministry of Health
.
Please use the
Ontario PPE Survey
(Password: PPEsurvey2020)
following these
instructions
.
Reporting of PPE to the OMA
Physician offices: the OMA asks that you continue to respond regularly to the
OMA PPE Survey
to effectively advocate on your behalf to access PPE for community-based physicians.
Thank you to Frank Rubini, OMA Regional Manager who assisted in having this data shared on a daily basis with the Sub Regional Pandemic Clinical Leads and the PPE Hubs.
