Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Lung ultrasound (LUS) has also been shown to be more accurate than chest x-ray in identifying pulmonary consolidation and pulmonary edema, both of which are found in patients with COVID. The investigators hypothesize implementation of LUS by hospitalists in the management of suspected or diagnosed patients with COVID-19 will reduce the need for Chest CT and chest x-ray, thereby conserving PPE, reducing risk of transmission to technicians and conserving the resources of radiology services that would otherwise be overwhelmed by patients with COVID-19 in need of chest imaging. Using the methods of implementation science, the investigators propose to respond to the urgent need for rapid implementation of LUS by hospitalists in management of adult patients hospitalized for COVID. Aim 1a: Using a rapid-cycle weekly Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle and Rapid Iterative RE-AIM, to optimize the implementation of LUS by adult hospitalists in the management of COVID-19 patients in a pilot study Aim 1b: Evaluate this pilot implementation of LUS by adult hospitalists using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework.
