Employee Health Contact Tracing Database Helps Enhance Safety
Kristine Rabii, MS, Waleed Javaid, MD, and Ismail Nabeel, MD, MPH, MS, created the Employee Health COVID-19 REDCap Registry, a cloud-based digital framework to track and reduce the spread of the virus across the Mount Sinai Health System. Dr. Rabii said, “Our goal was to highlight the creativity of teams at the Mount Sinai Health System, and demonstrate that these tools can be utilized by any organization. We were able leverage the information collected to keep up with COVID-19, using platforms that are not proprietary or housed within electronic health records. The tools we had available at the outset of the pandemic didn’t meet our needs, so our various teams collaborated to created new tools.”
