UPDATE from Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt
Community faculty may resume rounding in the Newborn Nursery and Inpatient floors on Monday
During this phase, practices will be limited to one attending physician rounding in the hospital each day from each practice. This includes rounding in the Newborn Nursery.
Universal masking is required for everyone in all VUMC facilities. You are encouraged to wear your own cloth mask. If you do not have a mask, a one-time mask will be provided to you (universal masking information above).
Community faculty will be required to adhere to COVID-19 screening upon entering the facilities. This includes temperature and symptom screening.
After screening, you will receive a sticker indicating you have been screened with the specific day of the week and calendar date. You must wear this screening sticker the entire time you are in a VUMC facility. If you are observed without a screening sticker, you will be asked to return to the screening stations for screening.
