Drive-through medicine: a novel proposal for rapid evaluation of patients during an influenza pandemic.
Ann Emerg Med. 2010; (3): 268-73
During a pandemic, emergency departments (EDs) may be overwhelmed by an increase in patient visits and will foster an environment in which cross-infection can occur. We developed and tested a novel drive-through model to rapidly evaluate patients while they remain in or adjacent to their vehicles. The patient's automobile would provide a social distancing strategy to mitigate the person-to-person spread of infectious diseases.
