This article examines the challenges that the national emergency medical services and volunteers faced in the process of implementing drive-through testing centers to offer lessons learned and direction to health-care professionals in other countries. 5 Working alongside the Ministry of Health, Magen David Adom (MDA)-Israel's emergency medical, disaster, ambulance, and blood bank service-operationalized drive-through coronavirus testing centers, mirroring the models used by China and South Korea. The testing centers are staffed with medical teams, police officers, security personnel, and volunteer students, and can process 6 lanes of cars in parallel, taking on average 3-5 min per car. To quickly operationalize "drive and test" facilities while allowing for process improvements, MDA used the Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology.	./cache/cord-328320-1f3r80r5.txt	./txt/cord-328320-1f3r80r5.txt
