CHRISTUS and COVID-19 Testing

Sam Bagchi, MD, Executive VP & Chief Clinical Officer, CHRISTUS Health.  For months, healthcare providers have been immersed in preparing for and responding to the situations created by COVID-19. But as some states begin to reopen, and as government restrictions on pre-scheduled procedures are relaxed, healthcare systems are beginning to consider how they might better serve their communities and operate successfully in a post-COVID world.  Join Dr. Bagchi as he talks about how CHRISTUS has worked to provide care safely to all patients, including those with COVID-19 and those without, in the U.S. and Latin America. CHRISTUS was one of the first in the country to provide point-of-care antibody testing in its hospitals, and the system now is looking forward to what comes next. Dr. Bagchi covers what CHRISTUS is doing to provide COVID-safe care in the short term, how CHRISTUS is reimagining care in a post-COVID world, and what health systems should be preparing for when a COVID-19 surge is no longer a critical focus.
