OneSOURCE, a healthcare management solution, announced a new database to assist healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic. The COVID-19 database will be available to new and current users at no cost and will feature tools that include instructions for use (IFUs) to help protect healthcare workers, reduce community spread and maintain patient safety related to ventilators, respirators, bypass machines, and reusable surgical gowns.

“With healthcare facilities in the midst of a crisis, infection control and proper sterile processing practices are of the utmost importance to managing COVID-19. The implementation of a platform like oneSOURCE will increase efficiency and provide healthcare workers with the tools they need to successfully decrease the spread of COVID-19,” said Jack Speer, co-founder and president of oneSOURCE. “This free e-library will be continuously updated and support those on the frontlines to get the information they need to manage any potential growth of the virus from equipment and protective gear as quickly as possible. These are unprecedented times and we’re working diligently with our partners to help manage this global emergency through preventative measures and continue to facilitate the demands of our industry during this critical time.”
