Interesting. This is probably the right approach
We are getting the typical AM portables on all unit patients, and those with more severe disease are getting the CTs. It's been interesting to look at from my perspective, but may not have yielded significant actionable information from a clinical standpoint. We put together elegant reports, but the bottom line is its "COVID-severity: bad" which I could have told you from the morning x-ray.

We are at about a full hour of CT downtime after a known or suspected patient comes through, plus the risk of exposure to all of the staff, so it's no small thing to scan one of these patients. I'm hopeful we'll see fewer CTs as we all figure out how to best manage things.
