PPE
Personal protective equipment (PPE) in the context of the COVID-19
pandemic ensures good infection prevention control practices and disease
containment.
Ordering PPE from the State Backstop
If you have trouble ordering PPE from other sources, the state backstop
can help support you. Visit the Washington State Department of Health's
COVID-19 Infection Prevention in Healthcare Settings
webpage to find ordering information.
Washington PPE Purchasing Co-Op
With the heightened need for PPE due to the novel coronavirus, and the
cost and shortage of reliable PPE, a public-private collaborative group of
health care associations and organizations, including the WSMA, joined
together to facilitate group purchasing of vetted, high quality PPE. Learn
more about the
Washington PPE Purchasing Co-Op.
The Washington PPE Purchasing Co-Op may be making future group purchases
if there is sufficient interest. If your practice would be interesting in
joining a future group buy, please reach out to the WSMA policy department
at policy@wsma.org.
