It was only academic centers that are. In terms of cities, I believe we are the only one.”Pool testing works like this: In large asymptomatic groups of people – schoolchildren going back to school, for instance, or college students in a dorm – nasal swab samples are taken from each person. The lab mixes part of the samples from five to 10 people in a batch and runs it through the test analysis. If it tests posi- tive, the individual tests in that batch are run again to identify who was positive in the batch.Each test is reimbursed at $100. If an employer or school tests 100 people in batches of 10, it has invested $1,000. If two of the batches are positive, for instance, the lab can run those 20 tests separately for $2,000. In this hypothetical analysis, it would cost $3,000 to test 100 people rather than $10,000, said Jenny Bartlett-Prescott, chief operating officer at Church Health and a member of the Memphis-Shelby County COVID-19 Task Force.“You’re not bringing every- body back in and swabbing them again because you already have the samples,” she said.Because it costs less and requires fewer testing supplies, some experts, including Poplar Healthcare’s CEO, Jim Sweeney, say pool testing will significantly expand testing.In a population where positivity is 1%, “it takes a limited supply chain and greatly enhances it,” Sweeney said, adding that it could provide a four- fold increase in testing, “which could be profound.” Nebraska began using the pool approach in March without FDA approval when it was dealing with outbreaks in meat-packing plants.
