Patients being admitted to DHMC

All patients being admitted to the DHMC require COVID-19 testing. This includes planned as well as unplanned admissions.

• Most pre-procedural admission testing is being done as an outpatient prior to admission.
• If the patient is admitted within 72 hours of a negative surveillance test, repeat testing is not necessary.
• If it has been more than 72 hours since a negative surveillance test, repeat testing should be done on admission.
• There is no indication to repeat a positive COVID-19 test.
• For patients undergoing a same-day procedure at DHMC, we are not performing routine testing. In some cases, however, the provider may request testing if a positive result would result in canceling the procedure.
