  • Patient tested positive

...

  • Test ordered/pending

Significant Exposure History

    • Accountable party

Issues for Follow Up:

  • Deduplication-- failure to identify same patient across encounters

  • Need for accurate contact information

  • Recording multiple test results over time

  • Do antibody tests require reporting

  • Get ED severity numbers

  • Is reporting at local, CDC level or both?

  • Current approaches to case management in and outside of EHR

  • Confirming patient reported positive diagnostic and antibody testing

 

  1. Order and complete testing- order sets, CDS to suggest testing, instructions and referrals for tested patients, quarantine instructions - 2

  2. Follow up test results and referrals – receipt of test results internal or external, other required follow up - 3

  3. Case Reporting and Contact Tracing - eCR, paper reporting, contact identification, contact follow up - 2

  4. Risk Calculation or Stratification - tools to evaluate risk and respond to high risk patients, need for social and medical services to keep patients healthy in quarantine - 2

  5. Update Case Status--> Initiate Outpatient Case Monitoring of Positive or Probable Cases in Quarantine - 4

  6. Inpatient/Outpatient handoffs - coordinate with ED/Inpatient group -

  7. Convalescence - follow up testing, clinical research and plasma donation, identification of presumed low risk for future clinical activities - 1

Great Public Health Medical Center has set up a method to track patients positive for and suspected with COVID-19 and assess their needs. They need a method to provide case management and outpatient monitoring for these patients to know when they should come to the clinic or go to the hospital or go for repeat testing. The tool would help monitor vital signs like oxygen saturation if available and symptoms including a walk test and provide feedback to the team. The tool would allow case managers to get remote feedback from patients and call those who have issues or fail to check in remotely.
