Design and implementation of a regional inpatient psychiatry unit for asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. 2020-07-02 .txt text/plain 5818 334 59 To prevent COVID-19 outbreaks in our units, we next decided to require universal nasal swab testing for SARS-CoV-2 for all medically asymptomatic patients being admitted to psychiatric units 3 . Second, we realized that we needed to decide where to care for SARS-CoV-2 positive, medically asymptomatic patients with mental illnesses who required hospitalization-those without symptoms of COVID-19. In light of the above, we concluded it would best serve our patients if we developed an inpatient psychiatric unit capable of accepting SARS-CoV-2 infected patients without COVID-19 symptoms, or with mild enough symptoms that they would not require medical hospitalization. Further, it is highly beneficial for continuity of care if the patient requires transfer to a medical COVID-19 unit that the psychiatrist be able to follow them there and maintain the psychiatric treatments as indicated. ./cache/cord-270348-5804ffwx.txt ./txt/cord-270348-5804ffwx.txt
