The role of multidisciplinary infection prevention teams in identifying community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States 2020-07-23 .txt text/plain 1190 67 50 title: The role of multidisciplinary infection prevention teams in identifying community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States This case study highlights the role of a multidisciplinary Infection Prevention team in the identification of the first community-transmitted SARS-CoV-2 case at a large, tertiary referral center in the United States. By rounding on the hospital units such teams can serve vital infection prevention, antibiotic stewardship, and disease surveillance functions. Through the coordinated efforts of UCD's multidisciplinary infection prevention (IP) program, the patient was identified as a possible COVID-19 case and obtained SARS-CoV-2 testing. During rounds, each patient is reviewed through the electronic medical record and via discussion with the bedside nurse to evaluate for possible infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship interventions. The patient's case was discussed with her bedside nurse, who confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 was considered by her primary team, but given the absence of exposures, testing for this agent was not pursued. ./cache/cord-275420-zkxyxiv5.txt ./txt/cord-275420-zkxyxiv5.txt
