We generated descriptive statistics by analyzing data from a Calgary Zone hub clinic called the Calgary COVID-19 Care Clinic (C4), provincially maintained records of hospitalization, ED visits, and physician claims.
Between Apr. 16 and Sep. 27, 2020, 7289 patients were referred by the Calgary Public Health team to the C4 clinic. Of those, 48.6% were female, the median age was 37.4 y. 97% of patients had at least one visit with a healthcare professional, where follow-up was conducted using the CIP\'s algorithm. 5.1% of patients visited an ED and 1.9% were hospitalized within 30 days of diagnosis. 75% of patients had a median of 4 visits with their FP.
Our data suggest that information exchange between Primary Care (PC) and central systems facilitates primary care-based management of patients with COVID-19 in the community and has potential to reduce acute care visits.
方法:我们通过分析来自卡尔加里地区中心诊所的数据来生成描述性统计数据,该中心诊所称为卡尔加里COVID-19护理诊所(C4),省级保存的住院记录,ED访问,和医生声称。
结果:4月之间。16和9月27,2020年,7289名患者被卡尔加里公共卫生团队转诊到C4诊所。其中,48.6%是女性,年龄中位数为37.4岁。97%的患者至少有一次就医,其中使用CIP算法进行随访。5.1%的患者在诊断后30天内就诊ED,1.9%的患者住院。75%的患者的FP中位数为4次。
结论:我们的数据表明,初级保健(PC)和中央系统之间的信息交换有助于社区对COVID-19患者进行基于初级保健的管理,并有可能减少急性护理就诊。
