BACKGROUND REQ
UIREMENTS: Vendor will run a level 1 background screening with a vendor of their choice. Candidates will be screened prior to 1st deployment and expected to report when called. DOH will accept candidates who have an active level 2 background in the AHCA Clearinghouse.
CREDENTIALING: DOH only requires the supplier to verify the medical licenses in NURSYS and provide a copy of the medical license.
This is the website: https://www.nursys.com/LQC/LQCSearch.aspx
DEPLOYMENT: DOH would normally inform CAI within 24 hrs ahead of the date and staff would be deployed for a few days and also have a group to relief the initial group after 72 hours. The deployment may or may not be 72 hours; that’s a conservative estimate given evacuation lead times prior to storm landfall. Shifts once deployed are 12 hours on, 12 hours off. The off hours are on-site with continued pay; if the contractor chooses to go to a hotel or makes other off-site arrangements, it will not be paid.
WHAT TO BRING: DOH will provide PPE, although obviously if an individual has a specific preference or is accustomed to a specific respirator they are welcome to bring their own. Meals and water are provided by the school (during day shift only), but I would advise any worker to bring additional food and/or snacks, particularly if they have dietary restrictions, as the food is middle school cafeteria dining. Bedding – air mattress/cot and linens – space is limited, (twin size is recommended). Clothing – Comfortable clothing for 7 days (scrubs are preferred). Comfortable closed-toe shoes/sneakers. Toiletries, personal medications and person hygiene items (no showers available). Rince-Free bath sponges, baby wipes. Entertainment, phone charges, ear plugs/eye mask. NO JEWELRY, VALUABLE, EAPONS, ALCOHOL, ILLICIT/ILLEGAL DRUGS.
WORK ENVIORNMENT: ALL CAMPUSES ARE NON-SMOKING. Middle schools being utilized for hurricane shelter for special needs Volusia County residents. School classrooms shred by staff members.
Not all shelters will open. It is based on storm path. This scope of work should be scalable to meet surge capacity requirements, with additional staff available on standby to call in as needs arise. Training – Training will be provided by Department of Health nurses at the shelter.
SIGN IN-OUT PROCEDURE: Report to your designated shelter at your assigned time. Identify yourself and your agency at the registration desk, where you’ll be directed to the Resource Unit Lead. Staff will need state issued ID which will be scanned at the shelter location to verify they are allowed at the shelter. You will be assigned a space for sleeping. You will be assigned to a designated shelter area under the leadership of DOH-Volusia Clinical Leads. Sign in / out at the shelter before and after shifts. Keep track of time worked (you may need to have your timesheets signed by shelter leadership).
