Abstract
- Crisis standards of care" are guidelines to help health care providers deliver the best possible medical care when resources are acutely limited, such as by war, natural disaster, or public health catastrophe. Traditionally, care involves an urgent inpatient evaluation to coordinate video-electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring, imaging, laboratory studies, and initiation of treatment. The exigency of the current public health crisis demands a fast, effective pivot in how we manage our most vulnerable patients, including a shift to an outpatient-based protocol for both diagnosis and treatment.
