- The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Waiting Time for Medical Care in an Urgent Care Service for COVID-19: Single-Center Prospective Study(2022) BIN, Kaio Jia; MELO, Adler Araujo Ribeiro; ROCHA, Jose Guilherme Moraes Franco da; ALMEIDA, Renata Pivi de; COBELLO JUNIOR, Vilson; MAIA, Fernando Liebhart; FARIA, Elizabeth de; PEREIRA, Antonio Jose; BATTISTELLA, Linamara Rizzo; ONO, Suzane KiokoBackground: To demonstrate the value of implementation of an artificial intelligence solution in health care service, a winning project of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Hacking Medicine Brazil competition was implemented in an urgent care service for health care professionals at Hospital das Clinicas of the Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Sao Paulo during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of implementation of the digital solution in the urgent care service, assessing the reduction of nonvalue-added activities and its effect on the nurses' time required for screening and the waiting time for patients to receive medical care. Methods: This was a single-center, comparative, prospective study designed according to the Public Health England guide ""Evaluating Digital Products for Health."" A total of 38,042 visits were analyzed over 18 months to determine the impact of implementing the digital solution. Medical care registration, health screening, and waiting time for medical care were compared before and after implementation of the digital solution. Results: The digital solution automated 92% of medical care registrations. The time for health screening increased by approximately 16% during the implementation and in the first 3 months after the implementation. The waiting time for medical care after automation with the digital solution was reduced by approximately 12 minutes compared with that required for visits without automation. The total time savings in the 12 months after implementation was estimated to be 2508 hours. Conclusions: The digital solution was able to reduce nonvalue-added activities, without a substantial impact on health screening, and further saved waiting time for medical care in an urgent care service in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Reinfection rate in a cohort of healthcare workers over 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic(2023) GUEDES, Ana Rubia; OLIVEIRA, Maura S. S.; TAVARES, Bruno M. M.; LUNA-MUSCHI, Alessandra; LAZARI, Carolina dos Santos; MONTAL, Amanda C. C.; FARIA, Elizabeth de; MAIA, Fernando Liebhart; BARBOZA, Antonio dos Santos; LEME, Mariana Deckers; TOMAZINI, Francis M. M.; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo; LEVIN, Anna S. S.In this large cohort of healthcare workers, we aimed to estimate the rate of reinfections by SARS-CoV-2 over 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated the proportion of reinfections among all the cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection from March 10, 2020 until March 10, 2022. Reinfection was defined as the appearance of new symptoms that on medical evaluation were suggestive of COVID-19 and confirmed by a positive RT-PCR. Symptoms had to occur more than 90 days after the previous infection. These 2 years were divided into time periods based on the different variants of concern (VOC) in the city of Sao Paulo. There were 37,729 medical consultations due to COVID-19 at the hospital's Health Workers Services; and 25,750 RT-PCR assays were performed, of which 23% (n = 5865) were positive. Reinfection by SARS-CoV-2 was identified in 5% (n = 284) of symptomatic cases. Most cases of reinfection occurred during the Omicron period (n = 251; 88%), representing a significant increase on the SARS-CoV-2 reinfection rate before and during the Omicron variant period (0.8% vs. 4.3%; p < 0.001). The mean interval between SARS-CoV-2 infections was 429 days (ranged from 122 to 674). The Omicron variant spread faster than Gamma and Delta variant. All SARS-CoV-2 reinfections were mild cases.
