There is an urgency to support Australian ED clinicians with real-time tools as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. The COVID-19 Emergency Department (COVED) Quality Improvement Project has commenced and will provide flexible and responsive clinical tools to determine the predictors of key ED-relevant clinical outcomes.
The COVED Project includes all adult patients presenting to a participating ED and meeting contemporary testing criteria for COVID-19. The dataset has been embedded in the electronic medical record and the COVED Registry has been developed.
Outcomes measured include being COVID-19 positive and requiring intensive respiratory support. Regression methodology will be used to generate clinical prediction tools.
This project will support EDs during this pandemic.
随着 COVID-19 大流行的发展，迫切需要为澳大利亚 ED 临床医生提供实时工具。COVID-19 急诊科（COVED）质量改进项目已经启动，将提供灵活和响应的临床工具，以确定关键 ED 相关临床结果的预测因素。
COVED 项目包括所有成年患者，这些患者就诊于参与的急诊科，并符合 COVID-19 的现代检测标准。数据集已嵌入电子病历中，并开发了 COVED 注册表。
测量的结果包括 COVID-19 阳性并需要强化呼吸支持。将使用回归方法生成临床预测工具。
该项目将在大流行期间为急诊科提供支持。
