Direct Admission Pathways for COVID positive patients needing acute care in a Tertiary Hospital

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has developed an internal direct admission pathway document for their hospital for COVID positive patients coming from either Residential Aged Care Facilities or other facilities such as Prisons or Mines etc. ?

I am currently developing one for my hospital with the assumption that patients have been assessed where they are and have been deemed suitable for admission as they require acute care. We would like to create a pathway where they do no need to go through our Emergency Department. If anyone has developed one and can share with me that would be appreciated Id like to make sure Im covering everything I need to for patient flow.

Warm regards,
