Abstract:
Singapore was one of the earliest countries affected by COVID-19, outside China. EDs in Singapore faced a surge of confirmed cases of COVID-19 patients, which stretched their resources. Here we describe how we adopted strategic changes using the identify-isolate-inform tool to improve the evaluation, treatment and management of COVID-19 patients. During this pandemic, information technology integration, modifications to the electronic medical record and essential enhancements to the dashboard were implemented in a timely manner to match the clinical needs. Considerations for an isolation facility within an ED are especially important for future outbreaks.
