Article Synopsis
- During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, a surge in the disease prompted a large academic medical center to establish a telephone hotline for triaging patient calls related to COVID-19.
- The study focused on call data from March 24, 2020, to May 5, 2020, analyzing call volumes, reported symptoms, and directing callers to appropriate resources like the patient portal or nursing hotlines.
- A total of 3,929 calls were recorded, with common symptoms including cough and shortness of breath, while risk factors such as being immunocompromised and age over 65 were also noted.
