New Epic Storyboard feature tracks COVID-19 infection status

Bugsy, a new infectious control application, has been added to patient headers across all Epic applications. This will be limited to COVID-19 testing and infections only. It will allow infection status for COVID-19 suspected or confirmed cases to be updated automatically for any internal COVID-19 testing.

The WVU Medicine electronic medical record will begin to receive COVID PCR testing results from external organizations through its health information exchange partners (Care Everywhere, WVHIN, CRISP). These results will be labelled as external results, but will display among other WVU Medicine lab results in the lab tab for Chart Review and in Results Review.
