weather plans for OP clinics

[Guest guest]

We are looking at other plans for handling inclement weather situations

for OP clinics. We have chosen to cancel if the roads are not in good

driving conditions and if our local school district closes (one of the

last to do so in our area). We adjust the rest of the week as able to

get the POC met etc. But it seems to me a patient safety issue if they

are impaired already that it would not be wise to come out on ice. How

do those of you in private practices as well as hospital based OP

clinics handle this situation? We do allow our OP staff to work on

acute care if they chose to come in.

Thanks ahead of time
