California Mobile Health Care Clinics
California has set forth a set of regulations governing mobile clinics which need to be followed in order to be in compliance with California laws and regulations.
The thought by some that they should be able to simply operate a mobile medical clinic by performing procedures and treatments solely in the homes of the patients they visit, with the risk of allergens, dog and cat hair and in these pandemic times, the further risk of droplets in the air that can cause a Covid-19 infection, is not only risky but foolhardy for both the patients and the mobile medical clinic licensed personnel.
Not only is it important to operate a mobile medical clinic from a vehicle such as an Airstream coach or other similar coach, but whatever type of coach is chosen must be as safe for patients as a doctor’s office with all of the precautions taken to ensure the health and safety of doctors, nurses, licensed personnel and patients involved in the mobile medical clinic as would be in a medical office.
