It outlines the health risks faced by immunocompromised transplant recipients and details the necessity for increased workplace accommodations, such as tele-working or temporary leave, to prevent the transmission of infections. The template is designed to be customized by healthcare providers to help protect high-risk patients through the support of their spouses' employers, ensuring a safer environment during periods of elevated vulnerability.

They can explain to your employer why you should stay away from your workplace. The doctor should place it on their letterhead and tailor the bracketed information to fit your situation.  \nSample doctor’s letter to spouse’s employer  \n[Date]  \nTo Whom It May Concern  \nRe: [Spouse First and Last Name]  \nDear Sir or Madam,  \nI am writing concerning your employee, [Spouse Name], who is the spouse of my patient, [Patient Name], who is a highly immunocompromised transplant recipient. I am a [Specialty, e.g. Nephrologist] at [Hospital or Practice Name] . Mr. and Ms. [Name] asked that I write you about [his/her] unique health risks during this COVID-19 pandemic and what you can do to help.  \nDuring this time, we are very worried about the risk to transplant recipients, who are highly vulnerable to infections because of the powerful immunosuppressive medications they must take to prevent rejection of their transplant. Such patients are more likely to experience severe illness if they acquire COVID-19.  \nWe are encouraging our patients to try and reduce their risk, including by tele-working and/or temporary work leave. This will help avoid potential exposures in the workplace.  \nAlthough [Patient Name] is able to telework, [Spouse Name], is a possible transmission risk due to [his/her] possible workplace exposure. If [he/she] acquires COVID-19, perhaps with mild or no symptoms, the infection may transfer to [his/her] spouse, which could be devastating for them.  \nWe would greatly appreciate if you could increase telework time or other accommodations to help [Spouse Name] maintain greater social isolation until [time period] . Thank you for considering this request; our entire Transplant Team appreciates it!  \nSincerely yours,  \n[Doctor’s printed name, credentials, title, etc.]  \nKidney & Transplant Patient Guide | 34","cbCain1lQuO2b791","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain1lQuO2b791","pdf",76056,"English","# Recommended Action for Spouses\n## Sample Letter for Employer\n## Rationale for Workplace Accommodations\n## Request for Social Isolation Measures","[{\"question\":\"Who should provide this letter to an employer?\",\"answer\":\"The letter should be drafted and signed by the transplant patient’s doctor on official hospital or practice letterhead.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are transplant recipients considered at high risk?\",\"answer\":\"Transplant recipients take powerful immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection, which makes them highly vulnerable to severe illness if they contract COVID-19.\"},{\"question\":\"What kind of accommodations does the letter suggest for the spouse?\",\"answer\":\"The letter suggests increasing telework time or granting temporary work leave to the spouse to minimize potential workplace exposure and subsequent transmission to the patient.\"}]","Sample Doctor’s Letter to Spouse’s Employer - Transplant and Living Donation | PDF",1789629226]
