New York State Executive Order No. 202.30 was enacted on May 10, 2020, and requires that the operator and administrator of all nursing homes and adult care facilities (including all adult homes, enriched housing programs, and assisted living residences) must make arrangements for all personnel (including employees, contract staff, medical staff, operators, and administrators) to be tested for COVID-19 infections twice weekly, with a plan filed with the New York State Department of Health no later than 5pm on Wednesday, May 13, 2020. Fines and penalties have been established for non-compliance with this executive order, ensuring adherence is an immediate priority for facilities across New York State.
The MedTek21/AccessDX solution and rapid-response teams will ensure facility operators have immediate and continuous access to test kits, results, and reporting. Sample results are available within 24-48 hours of receipt, and full test status and chain-of-custody reporting is provided by the MedTek21 software. Results are available immediately within the MedTek21 system, helping facilities to attest compliance with the New York Executive Order. AccessDX is also one of a select number of national laboratories that is CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited, and certified in New York State, and is operating under the Emergency Use Authorization as filed with the FDA.
