 COVID 19 SUPPORT

 Called patients for their results

 For those that were positive, I kept a log and called them once a week to
check on them.
 After 14 days, I encouraged the patients to go back to the office to get
retested
 For those that had severe symptoms, I either encouraged them to follow
up with their PCP or scheduled a telemedicine consultation with Dr. Boddie
to offer treatment for symptoms
