Efficient strategies for testing large numbers of patients must be developed to limit the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We demonstrate that our drive-through model is an efficient method of testing large numbers of patients during a pandemic. In the drive-through, cost per patient and personal protective equipment use were significantly less than in 3 brick-and-mortar clinics providing testing. We provide an example of effective nurse practitioner leadership in a drive-through testing site and demonstrate that nurse practitioners are ideally suited to provide leadership given their adaptability, ability to function in a variety of settings, and extensive experience with care coordination and logistics.
必须制定高效策略来检测大量患者，以限制2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的传播。我们证明，我们的免下车检测模式是在大流行期间检测大量患者的一种有效方法。在免下车检测中，每位患者的成本和个人防护装备的使用量均显著低于三家提供检测服务的实体诊所。我们提供了一个在免下车检测点护士执业者有效发挥领导作用的实例，并证明护士执业者鉴于其适应能力、在各种环境中发挥作用的能力以及在护理协调和后勤方面的丰富经验，非常适合发挥领导作用。
