UW Medicine shares COVID-19 response algorithms, policies

Seattle’s University of Washington health system, UW Medicine, and its affiliates are sharing resources they developed as the first providers and administrators to encounter COVID-19 on U.S. soil. The UW Medicine COVID-19 resource site provides a wealth of screening and testing algorithms, policy documents and links to regional coronavirus sites. Most of the posted documents were written since Feb. 24 and are undergoing frequent revisions as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. UW Medicine plans to post additional protocols and flow diagrams and hopes to add a discussion board and possibly enable other health systems to add similar resources to the site. Users are invited to email questions and recommendations to covid19@uw.edu.
