You asked:

Is there guidance on when a facility can use mitigation staffing strategies?

We answered: 

Yes, CDC notes that strategies should be implemented sequentially. Facilities should ensure they continue with vaccination efforts, understand current staffing needs, understand community transmission, and communicate with local healthcare coalitions and local public health partners to identify additional healthcare personnel (HCP). Facilities should also document the staffing plan that includes available regional resources. Additional details can be found on the CDC Strategies to Mitigate Healthcare Personnel Staffing Shortages webpage. We encourage members to continue to submit questions to COVID19@leadingageohio.org.
