Preparing in
Advance
Jupiter Medical Center began preparing
in January to receive COVID-19 patients
and to protect our other patients and
team members from this respiratory disease.
We were one of the first hospitals in our region
to implement CDC guidelines for the screening,
diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 patients.
To prepare our staff, we conducted multidisciplinary
training drills for screening, diagnosing, isolating and
treating potential cases of COVID-19. Training included
the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
in accordance with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention recommended guidelines.
We also established an Incident Command Center to
streamline communications and provide administrative
oversight to manage treatment, clinical staffing and
the allocation of rooms, equipment and supplies.
Screening Visitors, Team Members and Physicians
To reduce the potential of COVID-19 spread, Jupiter Medical Center implemented a “no visitor” policy, with some exceptions, including pediatric and labor & delivery patients. Hospice visits are allowed on a limited basis.
The visitor policy changes were not made lightly, as we understand that spending time with family and friends is of great comfort to our patients when they are ill or being treated for a medical situation.
We are also carefully screening all visitors and vendors prior to entrance to our facilities and we have also implemented precautionary screening procedures for all physicians and team members. We believe these are prudent measures in our continued effort to protect the health and safety of every patient and team member.
Rigorous Cleaning
and Disinfection
procedures, we have implemented additional cleaning and
disinfecting of all surfaces and in all patient areas.
areas three times each day to clean and disinfect high-touch areas.
We are also using Tru-D SmartUVC ultra-violet disinfection robots,
which inactivate viruses and other pathogens on surfaces.

Accelerated Testing
for Hospitalized
Patients and
Health Care Workers
We have been notified by the Florida Department of
Health that some private laboratories can now
prioritize COVID-19 tests results for hospitalized
patients and health care workers. This change means
we can anticipate receiving test results within 24 to
48 hours instead of the current seven to nine-day
wait time many local, regional and national hospitals
have been experiencing.
This is a welcome development and will help us
release patients confirmed negative more quickly
back to the comfort of their homes, while
simultaneously helping us conserve resources.
