Reference no: EM133030294

Setting: 

You are responsible for risk management and planning for a health care entity. Due to governmental edict or management decision, your entity has required full COVID vaccination by all employees. Those employees who are not fully vaccinated by a fixed date will be terminated on that deadline date. You are faced with the following primary challenges: 

a. You will have a reduction in staff, as those who refuse to be vaccinated will quit or be terminated; 

b. You will have to reduce services due to this staffing shortage; exactly where is not yet known (but analyze which ones are the most critical, and what you will need to do to cover this);

c. You will have patients in the hospital who will require treatment, and therefore you will need to triage those patients; you will also need to address the transfer of some of these patients; 

d. You will need to address what to do with employees who later become vaccinated and seek re-employment after they become "compliant;" you will also have applicants whose vaccination status you will have to address (some of those may be ADA or other special employment classes); e. There are other risks or challenges not noted here.

Question: Please draft a Comprehensive Plan to address the above problems and any other issues you identify
