One of ACEP’s most popular resources, the COVID-19 Severity Index Classification Tool, has been updated and expanded into the COVID-19 ED Management Tool. The new tool walks clinicians through the following steps in the management of COVID-19 patients: severity classification, risk prognostication/assessment, diagnostic testing/interpretation, disposition, and treatment. The tool now offers treatment recommendations curated from guidelines from the National Institutes of Health and Infectious Diseases Society of America and are consistently updated as the evidence on therapeutic options evolves. Smart phrases have been included so clinicians have guidance on the appropriate documentation to include in the electronic medical record based on the management approach that is best for each patient.
