Paxlovid Eligibility Search

Paxlovid eligibility EMR search*

 

These searches have been developed by our team and use EMR data to find patients who are eligible to be tested and assessed for COVID-19 antiviral treatments (i.e. Paxlovid).

 

 

 

Important notes:

  • If individuals identified by these searches don’t have a recent serum creatinine this may present an opportunity to order this for the highest-risk patients while they are well
  • The ultimate decision for treatment is to be determined by the clinician and patient; these searches only use the general eligibility criteria
  • Please note that due to variations in the use of the EMR data, searches may pull up patients that do not meet the criteria and clinical review is required

​

To simplify the process to search for specific patients that are eligible for Paxlovid, the eCE has created four different searches.

These searches are available for PS Suite, OSCAR and Accuro, with downloads available below (or for Accuro, the searches can be found in the Global Alerts list). Details about the criteria for each search are included below the downloads.

Tips and considerations for using the searches:

 

  • A patient may show up in more than one search based on the criteria
  • The searches are meant to be used as a guideline and it is important to review each case individually
  • It is highly recommended to run the searches during off-hours and by a specific clinician to improve search speed
