As instances of COVID-19 within the San Gabriel Valley community began to rise in 2020, contact tracing was essential to quickly identify potential exposures between staff and patients and minimize disease spread.
Collaborating with MEDITECH Professional Services, Emanate Health was able to develop contact tracing dashboards in their MEDITECH Expanse EHR. This helped them to identify patients and staff at high risk for COVID-19 exposure, following an inpatient’s positive test result. The organization was also able to evaluate the risk to roommates during exposure windows — a huge challenge for many other hospitals.
Read the MEDITECH case study to find out how Emanate Health leveraged Business and Clinical Analytics dashboards within MEDITECH Expanse to limit the spread of the virus to patients and staff. You’ll also learn how these efforts can be applied to other infectious disease tracking.
