Dr. Leah Witt and Colleagues Create Dot Phrase for Electronic Health Record For Guidance about COVID-19 and Older Adults

Dr. Leah Witt and her colleagues in the UCSF Division of Geriatrics recognized that the .covid phrase used in the electronic health should provide specific guidance for older adults, the highest risk group.  Our Geriatrics group created a dot phrase that provides guidance about COVID-19 and older adults to be used in our electronic health record so it can be widely shared. UCSF is working on adding this to the centralized covid dot phrase.  Currently the information can be found in the UCSF electronic health record (EPIC) under Dr. Carla Perissinotto's name and called .gericovid.  See link to PDF document with our guidance for older adults about COVID-19.
