Keys to BrightSpring’s Response Impact Planning Organization Education Formal Outbreak Plan Triage Communication Infection Control & PPE Training Teamwork
Summary of Brightspring’s COVID-19 Response Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, BrightSpring-PharMerica has focused on implementing best practices in infection control, visitor management, employee screening, and streamlined reporting and triage protocols to optimally support clients, patients, employees, families and communities. BrightSpring Numbers of Interest: • 11,000 potential / actual exposures and cases triaged internally • $10M investment in PPE • 50% lower infection rate than US average • Revenue within 2% of budget and 10% higher than prior year • EBITDA within 1% of budget and 11% higher than prior year • Over 50 citations of our work by scientific publications • Over 30 press mentions • 1 unified enterprise outbreak plan
Quality Team: 24/7 Triage and Support A dedicated team supported over 11,000 patient and employee exposures in the first year of COVID-19, implementing best practices and leveraging new technology across the enterprise.
Human Resources – Uncharted Territory • How do we enable Work From Home? Collaborative effort between HR and IT • Can we require health screenings? Normally forbidden by the ADA, the EEOC granted an exception and we started requiring this. • What kind of time off can we offer? Are we required to give paid time off under the Families First Act or are we an integrated employer with over 500 employees and exempt from the Act? • Can we require employees to use PTO and go into a negative PTO balance? What impact does that have on the exempt status for exempt employees? What are our options if we try to recoup that money if they end up leaving? • Dozens of new types of union requests (PPE, etc) • Furloughs, reductions-in-force, etc. To date, no lawsuits have resulted. • Salary reductions • How do we deal with people who refuse to come back to work? • What are our return-to-work policies? E.g.We receive a letter from the Attorney General of New York asking us to justify why we have people working in our pharmacies. • How do we make our workplaces safe to return? • Can we require vaccines? • What if our customers require our employees to be vaccinated?
