Connect Care Manual - COVID-19 Content

COVID-19 Connect Care Content

The Connect Care initiative attends to emerging physician needs that relate to the COVID-19 pandemic. The clinical information system (CIS) is enhanced to ensure that testing, assessment, treatment guidance, order sets, documentation and other supports ease the work of supporting patients and staff. Relevant information is continually added to relevant sections of the Connect Care Manual and blogs.

Please see the COVID-19 Workflows page for ideas about how to integrate content into workflows that support care of patients with COVID-19 illness. See the COVID-19 Resources page for links to supporting clinical guidance and protocols.
