“…Because previous research has shown inconsistency in model number reporting, 13 it is suggested that health-care systems or entities use NIOSH's CEL, 15 which is routinely updated, to serve as a more user-friendly tool to help respirator users, managers, and industrial hygienists determine and select NIOSH-approved respirators to protect against workplace hazards. The CEL allows for quick searches by approval number, manufacturer, or brand, and can be used to help hospitals routinely cross-check their respirator model numbers on hand.…”

“…Consequently, the authors explored PPE inventory reporting in the health-care industry to advance a reliable mechanism for completing and deploying a national PPE surveillance and monitoring system. 13 In partnership with the Center for Medical Interoperability (C4MI) 14 and several US hospitals, PPE supply data were tracked, recorded, and shared with NIOSH for 15 wk in 2020. Data showed that most PPE models were accurately, if not consistently, reported but that a universal PPE data standard would be necessary to correctly count PPE inventories.…”

“…Data showed that most PPE models were accurately, if not consistently, reported but that a universal PPE data standard would be necessary to correctly count PPE inventories. 13 In the absence of such a standard, this study sought to explore an intermediate solution to track the number of N95 FFR models, rather than N95 FFR quantities, as a potential indicator of supply chain stability in US health-care systems.…”

Objectives: Personal protective equipment (PPE) supply chain disruptions force US health-care entities to adopt conservation strategies such as procurement from different respirator manufacturers. This research seeks to better understand how the number of respirator models on hand can serve as an indicator of N95 filtering facepiece respirator (FFR) supply chain stability or disruption. Methods: Researchers looked at differences in the mean number of N95 FFR models, averaged weekly, from 10 hospitals in a health-care system over 15 wk from June 1 to September 10, 2020. Participating hospitals entered near-daily PPE inventory data by manufacturer and model number. Results: A linear mixed effect model was run in SPSS v. 26 using a random intercept for hospitals, with week as a fixed predictor and mean number of respirator models (averaged weekly) on hand as the dependent variable. Each week showed a small but significant effect compared with the past week (P < 0.001), where the average weekly number of respirator models on hand decreased. Conclusions: The limited data may indicate a resolution of supply chain disruptions and warrant further investigation. Consequently, the number of respirator models may be applicable as an indicator of supply chain stability and be more easily ascertained and tracked by health-care entities.

“…Patients with severe symptoms are mostly accommodated in hospitals, while patients with mild symptoms and patients without symptoms are only required to carry out independent isolation without special health facilities from the State [3]. However, self-isolation for asymptomatic patients raises problems in the form of exclusion and discrimination by the surrounding community [4]. This causes the patient's mental health to decline and results in a longer recovery time [5].…”

Background: The spread of the Covid-19 virus outbreak in early March 2020, caused a high number of deaths worldwide. People infected with Covid-19 are not only physically infected but mentally (spiritually) are also infected. In Indonesia, many hospitals in all cities and villages have been instructed to lock down (limit communication and interaction). This research focuses on analyzing neuro-spiritual as an alternative spiritual approach to improving mental health for Covid-19 patients. Method: This study uses a qualitative method (content analysis), based on case studies at Muhammadiyah hospitals throughout the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia which are fully accredited (perfect). This study interviewed asymptomatic and symptomatic Covid-19 patients using a purposive sampling technique. The data qualitative analysis technique uses triangulation. Results: This study describes that patients suffering from Covid-19 are very diverse. Before the neuro-spiritual approach, Covid-19 patients felt constrained. The existence of a neuro-spiritual approach, namely a spiritual approach, such as fasting, night prayers (tahajjud), reading the Koran, and interacting with friends, has a good and positive impact on Covid-19 patients. A neuro-spiritual approach that prioritizes and relies on spiritual power (worship) that responds to the brain, is an alternative method used by PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. Conclusion: A neuro-spiritual approach can improve the mental health of Covid-19 patients. This approach is very relevant to the reference perspective of Islamic studies which has implications for the Covid-19 disaster in Indonesia.
