To resolve COVID-19 confirmed flags and release current inpatients from isolation, the following criteria must be met:
- A minimum of ten days has passed since the onset of patient symptoms
- Two SARS-CoV2 tests have been collected at least 24 hours apart and are negative for SARS-CoV2
- At least three days have passed since the resolution of fever without the use of fever- reducing medications with progressive improvement or resolution of other symptoms.
Patients who were symptomatic and previously positive for COVID-19 who return to Kettering Health Network facilities will not need to be isolated. Any remaining COVID-19 flags may be removed from their Epic record as long as the following criteria have been met:
- A minimum of ten days has passed since the onset of patient symptoms
- At least three days have passed since the resolution of fever without the use of fever- reducing medications with progressive improvement or resolution of other symptoms
Please contact your facility Infection Preventionist to remove COVID-19 flags in Epic as needed.
