An Orthopaedic Department’s Response to the COVID-19 Health-Care Crisis: Indirect and Direct Actions with Thoughts for the Future	2020-05-05		.txt	text/plain	2255	91	40	Cancelling elective procedures and rescheduling nonurgent outpatient clinic visits create a cascade of effects on the health-care system-limiting interpersonal interactions, preserving bed capacity and personal protective equipment (PPE), and allowing staff to be redeployed to best confront the COVID-19 crisis. Direct actions that our orthopaedic surgery department has taken to address this nontraumatic health-care crisis include increasing telehealth capabilities, providing more efficient consultative care to emergency departments (EDs), and helping to direct patients with traumatic injuries toward hospitals that are not overburdened by the management of patients with COVID-19. While the above steps represent indirect and direct actions that orthopaedic providers may take in order to help confront the COVID-19-related health-care crisis, additional steps can be considered by hospital administrators and medical directors in order to help address this challenge.	./cache/cord-349408-2ser9zjc.txt	./txt/cord-349408-2ser9zjc.txt
