Hello All,

What order sets are your organization creating for Clinicians to preventively test for the COVID-19?
I saw an article showing that Athena pushed out new diagnostic testing orders, but unsure where to find these items in the Athena Portal. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/athenahealth-adds-new-guidance-order-sets-coronavirus-detection

"Athenahealth this past week updated its cloud-based software with new features to help providers be better prepared for the 2019 novel coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV.

The company has implemented new diagnostic testing orders and screening questions across its network of ambulatory and hospital customers.

"We pushed these updates directly into the workflows of 130,000 providers overnight – no downloads or installation required, and sincerely hope that our ability to respond quickly and provide the right resources will help our customers in their efforts to limit the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus," said athenahealth CEO Bob Segert in a statement.

The new capabilities re meant to help ensure athenahealth's client are better able to screen and test their patients. Among the new tools quickly developed and deployed: a set of new travel-related screening questions that appear within athenaClinicals workflows.

In addition, the vendor has offered new code-backed diagnostic test order sets with testing and specimen collection, detailed recommendations for screening and diagnostic tests and links the up-to-date guidance from the Centers for Disease Control."

Hello,

I received this from Ms. Dena Henney, CSM at athenahealth:

We have released additional Observation terms that our customers can use while editing the existing form and or add to their own form which they have developed for tracking.

The Obs terms that were released last week cover the questions that are asked by the CDC for persons under investigation.

The CDC is continuing to update the Person Under Investigation form and offering guidance for screening of patients. To assist with consistent information gathering and tracking periodic updates to Observation terms specific to this virus will be released.
• March 4, 2020 COVID-19 OBsKit
• March 2020 Obs Terms Release Notes (Please refer to pages 13-17 for a comprehensive listing of Observation terms related to COVID-19)

I am unable to post the links, I hope this will be ok to email to you.

Thank you,
