We evaluated the impact of safety protocols, including rapid testing and contact tracing, on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) risk exposure and transmission rates amongst healthcare workers in the outpatient care setting. Over an 11-week period, a total of 254 employees representing 38% of our total workforce had potential COVID-19 exposure and underwent voluntary COVID-19 testing. Data was stratified based on severity of risk exposure and job description. During this period, the probability of a COVID exposure being high risk decreased in Administrative (-93.0%; < 0.01) and Clinical (-77.0%; < 0.01) staff; simultaneously, viral transmission rates declined in Administrative (-73.4%; = 0.03) and Clinical (-69.9%; = 0.04) staff as well. Systematic safety protocols effectively reduce exposure risk and transmission rates in outpatient healthcare workers and should be ubiquitously adopted.
我们评估了包括快速检测和接触者追踪在内的安全协议对门诊护理环境中医护人员2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）风险暴露和传播率的影响。在11周的时间里，共有254名员工（占我们总劳动力的38%）有潜在的COVID-19暴露，并接受了自愿的COVID-19检测。数据根据风险暴露的严重程度和工作描述进行分层。在此期间，行政人员（-93.0%；<0.01）和临床人员（-77.0%；<0.01）中COVID暴露为高风险的概率降低；同时，行政人员（-73.4%；=0.03）和临床人员（-69.9%；=0.04）中的病毒传播率也有所下降。系统的安全协议有效地降低了门诊医护人员的暴露风险和传播率，应被广泛采用。
