Patient and system factors related to missed opportunities for screening in an EMR-driven, opt-out HIV screening program in the emergency department

Academic Emergency Medicine Aug 26, 2017

Lin J, et al. – In this present study, the authors examine how specific patient and health system factors in the Emergency Department (ED) influence who is and is not screened in a combined targeted and non–targeted, EMR–driven, opt–out, HIV screening program. Many patients are missed in ED HIV screening programs, particularly adolescents and young adults, that require a blood draw and depend on providers to obtain consent for testing. Future ED screening programs should strive to develop innovative workflows that allow for blood draws for HIV screening only and streamline the processes of obtaining informed consent and ordering tests for all eligible patients to ensure these patients are reached.
