Harbor:Peds ED follow-up track information

• Place lab checks for any lab that will not result during the patient's visit
  • Examples: urine/throat/wound cultures, urine GC/Chlamydia, pertussis PCR, thyroid function tests
  • Use the ED Post Visit Plan on the Depart Process, choose PED, not PVCC
    • Get a phone number where the patient can be reached best
    • If time, assist patient in enrolling in DHS wellness portal
      • Go to dhs.lacounty.gov and click My Wellness and enroll me
      • This is especially important for adolescents and young adults with STI testing

    • Specify result to be checked and plan
