Text-Messaging (TM)
Text-Messaging plus Patient Navigation (TM+PN)
Population health management intervention that analyzes electronic health record data to automatically identify participants with high risk for either infection or severe disease and proactivity reaches those participants via text message for testing needs (as advised by state and/or federal guidelines) and testing recommendation when applicable. This is a bi-directional text messaging system.
Population health management intervention that includes the same bi-directional text-messaging system as Arm 1 (the text messaging condition) with the addition of patient navigation. Patient navigation includes real-time assistance from a community health worker to address barriers, provide motivation, and assist with logistics of COIVD testing.
