Here s what to know Audrey Dutton and Chadd Cripe, The Idaho Statesman Dec. 12 The Idaho Board of Health and Welfare on Friday voted to finalize how Idaho would set in motion the crisis standards of care, otherwise known as health care rationing or triage. The new rule authorizes Idaho Department of Health and Welfare Director Dave Jeppesen to activate the crisis standards, if Idaho s health care system becomes fully overwhelmed as the pandemic rages out of control.
