In 2023 Quinte Health, Canada introduced new policies and procedures to accommodate people with EHS and MCS in their hospitals. https://quintehealth.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2.3.2-Accessibility-Environmental-Sensitivities-May-2023.pdf

Title: Accessibility – Environmental Sensitivities (prev. Accessibility – Multiple Chemical Sensitivities)

EXCERPT:

1. PURPOSE
People with environmental sensitivities (such as multiple chemical sensitivities or
electromagnetic hypersensitivities) may present to a Quinte Health hospital not only for treatment of reactions related to their sensitivities, but also for unrelated injuries, acute or chronic illnesses, surgeries, appointments, and other purposes. When caring for patients with environmental sensitivities, we must endeavour to prevent reactions, minimize discomfort, and avoid extended hospital stays. In doing this, we enhance the confidence and trust of patients with environmental sensitivities, reduce fear / concern from their families, and increase the likelihood of successful treatment outcomes (Marshall & Maclennan, 2001).

This policy will assist clinical staff in anticipating and meeting the needs of those with
environmental sensitivities, as well as outline the management and nursing responsibilities when caring for a patient with environmental sensitivities.

2. SCOPE
This policy applies to all Quinte Health staff and physicians when caring for patients with environmental sensitivities, such as a multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) and / or electromagnetic hypersensitivities (EHS) illness / injury.
