  • Medstar Health Is Working Diligently to Care for the Patients and Communities We Serve Who May Need Us During This Challenging Time of the COVID‐19 Pandemic
    MedStar Health is working diligently to care for the patients and communities we serve who may need us during this challenging time of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Our leaders, caregivers and non‐clinical personnel are focused on ensuring the safety and well‐being of our communities. We have workflows and procedures in place that address triage, screening, testing and treatment, and we are planning for an exponential increase in demand for our services in the event that becomes necessary. We are addressing the needs of our communities through various channels. We have launched chat bots to address COVID‐related questions individuals may have. This appears to have a positive outcome in reducing the number of unnecessary provider visits during a time of needed social‐distancing. MedStar has greatly increased our capability to provide E‐visits, with over 200 providers available to provide visits upon demand. E‐visit is a critical path for screening patients for COVID‐19 testing needs. MedStar continues to follow the CDC/regulatory screening criteria to identify which patients are appropriate for COVID‐19 testing. The URL for MedStar e‐visit is https://www.medstarhealth.org/medstar-health-evisit. As of March 31, MedStar has more than thirty different testing sites for COVID‐19 as outlined below. Our MedStar Medical Group sites and MedStar urgent care sites, as well as our Hospital EDs and some newly launched tents are all locations where testing is taking place.
