Southern California PPE Usage Assessment

We need your help in making the PPE supply chain stable, available and affordable for our regional healthcare communities. We are asking healthcare providers for estimates of PPE supplies your organization uses and might be willing to purchase through a local collaborative venture on a routine basis. This collaborative venture will support locally-produced PPE at affordable market prices.
1.Contact Information
2.What is your current estimated monthly volume of nitrile gloves in unit of measure each?
3.What is your current estimated monthly volume of disposable isolation gowns in unit of measure each?
4.What is your current estimated monthly volume of reusable gowns in unit of measure each?
5.What is your current estimated monthly volume of N95 masks in unit of measure each?
6.This PPE strategy may be able to assist you in complying with Senate Bill 275 and Assembly Bill 2537.

SB 275 requires health care employers to have a 45-day supply of PPE by June 1, 2023. It calls for the California Department of Public Health to create a 90-day PPE stockpile by that date or a year after regulations are adopted, whichever is later.

AB 2537 requires general acute care hospitals to stockpile a three-month PPE supply by April 1, 2021 or face fines of up to $25,000 for failing to do so.

If this purchasing collaborative allowed you to store your stockpile offsite, would you be interested in participating?
