  • Efficiency: Minimize impact on provider's workflow.  No more repetitive time consuming CDC forms.

  • Expedite integration of alternate care sites and out-of-network patients

  • Federal standards: Supports Federal CDC COVID Data Dictionary

  • Therapeutic research: Supports independent site research of Rx therapeutic
           and
    other COVID treatment modalities.

  • CMS Approved platform:
         Critical functions are implemented by HIPAA secure ACA processes w/ONC infrastructure

  • Expedites COVID referrals between Out-of-Network Providers
                 (VA, Regional providers, Health Networks, Rural hospitals...)

 

   

COVID Surveilance Tools - Click on each tool's link in list below:

    Features:  Facilitates research on ANY patient chart datapoint(s)
 

1. Base abstraction encompasses Federal CDC COVID data dictionary
      Demographics, COVID status, co-morbidities

2.  Expandable abstraction to include additional elements
       State CDC and healthcare facilities can abstract using Rx, prior hospitalizations, other co-morbidities
       
Subsequent research can expand set of element for recursive analysis

3. Abstraction tool enables drill down to patient level data

.

 Features: Saves time of medical professional by reducing workflow interruptions
                      Empower epidimiologists to keep
 citizens safe and FULLY informed

         b. With optional  drill down to patient level datasets.
3. Google maps reports
     a.
Show geographic distribution of metrics over time
4. Programmers API

Our baseline of datapoints is defined by the US CDC and is comprised of 4 parts:

  • Patient demographic information,

  • COVID-19 diagnosis and course of illness

  • Co-morbidities

  • Information about the healthcare professional.

Our system uniquely allows state CDC and healthcare professionals to include other biometric data points normally included in the electronic patient chart(*).

Top goals of the registry include:

•             Understanding the outcomes of patients with CDC listed conditions who develop COVID-19 and the influence of their comorbidities and medications on their outcomes.

•             Understanding the influence of medications, such as hydroxychloroquine, on the outcomes of patients who develop COVID-19.

•             Rapidly performing systematic reviews of the currently available literature regarding conditions and medications in patients who develop COVID-19 and updating them frequently while the pandemic is still active globally.

•             Exploring the patient experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ultimately, we felt that building a worldwide registry was the best way to contribute reliable, evidence-based information and resources desperately needed in these rapidly evolving discussions."

The CUSHM Global COVID-19 Alliance is asking that clinicians use the registry to report any and all cases of COVID-19 in patients, including those with mild or no symptoms.

It is anticipated that the online case report form will take five to 10 minutes to complete and no protected health information is requested.
