Standard-of-Care
Enhanced Standard-of-Care
Patients who test positive will receive a call from the provider who conducted the test to notify them of the test result and provide standard-of-care counseling (e.g., health education, link them to resources). Index patients are entered into a COVID-19 patient registry in the Federally Qualified Health Center's electronic health record system (which also is linked to the clinic's COVID-19 dashboard) and monitored closely, with telemedicine follow-ups provided by skilled clinical staff every two-to-three days, and in-person follow-ups provided as needed.
In addition to the aforementioned standard-of-care actions, index patients in the enhanced standard-of-care group will receive tailored phone/mobile counseling (motivational interviewing) focused on implementing strategies to prevent immediate household spread of COVID-19, followed by weekly text messaging for a total of 6 weeks.
