COVID-19 Reporting Indicators

COVID-19 Indicator
Cases with respiratory symptoms are screened at the health facility
Cases with Acute Respiratory Infection (IRA) are screened at health facility
Cases suspected of COVID-19 are identified at the facility and registered as suspected cases
For Suspected Cases, they go through a Screening workflow as part of the registration process.
Suspected cases are put into quarantine at the facility
Suspected cases receive laboratory testing.
Cases are Confirmed
Confirmed Cases are put in Isolation at the health facility
Patients who need advanced treatment are put into isolation in the UMI (Infectious Disease Unit)
Ambulance Transfer Patients are placed directly in isolation in the UMI.
Confirmed Cases are asked to give a list of their contacts
Contacts are identified by CHW and placed in quarantine at a facility
Contacts are identified by CHW and placed in quarantine at home
Lab tests are performed
Lab tests in progress
Lab Results: PCR pos
Lab Results: PCR neg
Lab Results; Rapid Test Pos
Lab Results: Rapid Test Pos
Patients Currently hospitalized in the UMI
Patients who get better and exit the UMI
Patients who die while in UMI
Patients who leave UMI without authorization
Patients might transfer from one UMI to another (HSN to HUM)
Patients who get better are discharged from regular isolation to go home
Patients who go home are followed up by CHW to make sure that they are OK
After a certain number of days, they are given a final outcome. Cured, Readmitted to Hospital, Lost, Died.

PIH is currently working towards creating dashboard with the following indicators to track inpatient care at facilities:

Inpatient Indicator	How this helps
Current and trend in occupancy of beds in the COVID-19 UMI ward.	Monitoring capacity to care for the volume of patients and flagging need for either setting up additional facilities or planning to return ICU beds to other types of patients.
Trend in # screening PCR tests positive	Monitoring the overall trend of the pandemic - whether to plan ahead and allocate resources to handle more cases, hold steady, or prepare to transition resources back to other types of care.
Proportion of patients with comorbidities that will affect their care	Determine reasons for severity and the types of expertise and supportive care needed.
Symptoms of confirmed cases, histogram	Feed back to screening process to prioritize people with matching symptom profiles.
Current and trend of patients on oxygen	Compare to oxygen supply chain to look for risk of running short or having overstock.
Hospital staff testing positive, trend	To determine if facility has the staff capacity to manage the care needs
Patient outcomes, by type over time	assessing the success of care
