Evaluating a safety and efficacy protocol of a COVID-19 drive-through clinic

Project Details

The purpose of this project was to evaluate a single ’drive through’ respiratory clinic to inform the development of robust clinical protocols to optimise clinician and patient safety.

Patron ID: PAT020

Project Lead: A/Prof Jo-Anne Manski-Nankervis

Overview:

Patient level data that has been recorded in a patient’s EMR by the ‘drive through’ clinic staff will be analysed to determine the number of patients assessed, the number of swabs taken and the proportion of swabs that return positive results for COVID-19.


Collected data will include patient age, gender, temperature, symptoms and information on whether a swab was taken or not. This patient data will be de-identified and extracted from the clinic electronic medical record where it will be stored in the secure Data for Decisions data repository.
