ACCELERATE ANSWERS. ADVANCE CARE. RAPID, ACCURATE ASSESSMENT.
PATIENTS WITH RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT NEED RAPID, ACCURATE ASSESSMENT TO INFORM COHORTING, ADMISSION, AND TREATMENT STRATEGIES.
The respiratory season presents an unprecendented challenge to Emergency Department (ED) care, with numerous unkown factors potentially influencing ED care delivery, including:
The impact of relaxed social distancing measures on community transmission of respiratory viruses1
Limited insights regarding the potential for and clinical implications of co-infection1
Patients presenting with higher acuity levels if they do not have access or are unwilling to access flu vaccinations and/or primary care visits2
AS EDs FACE A RESPIRATORY SEASON WITH MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS, ACCESS TO ACCELERATED DIAGNOSTICS RESULTS IS VITAL
