Most patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 have mild to moderate symptoms manageable at home; however, up 20% develop severe illness requiring additional support. Primary care practices performing population management can use these tools remotely assess and manage COVID-19 identify those needing medical support before becoming critically ill. We developed an innovative approach for managing remotely. Development, implementation, evaluation took place in April 2020 within a large urban academic...
