COVID-19 Automated Exposure Tracker

When a patient or provider tests positive, someone, typically a charge nurse, has to do a manual chart review and “ask around” to figure out who was likely exposed. This approach cannot scale, cannot give us insights into patterns of exposure and spread, and takes staff away from mission-critical patient care. Our Infection Exposure Tracker automates the detective work necessary to identify: 1) Who provided care to COVID positive patients 2) Who worked side-by-side with COVID positive provider 3) Who was in the vicinity of infected patients and clinicians This is all done without extra input or work from frontline staff. Health system administrators and public health leaders can access a list of staff, ranked from highest to lowest exposure, which can be filtered by service line. The tracker also keeps a registry of patients and healthcare workers who have tested positive for the virus, who are then presumed immune after they have recovered.
