Like everything else regarding treatment of this novel coronavirus, health care systems will have to adapt. The alternative is to not adapt the outpatient/emergency settings and not administer the antibody drugs and subsequently overload the already stressed hospitals with increased inpatient admissions.A challenge, for sure.
From the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) article "HHS seeks hospitals to administer new COVID-19 treatment":"Outreach to hospitals is underway
To accommodate IV infusions, HHS officials said they have been reaching out to hospitals to provide the treatment. To segregate COVID-19-positive patients from noninfected hospital patients, the new treatment is to be delivered in outpatient facilities.
...
Janet Woodcock, MD, director of the Center for Drug Evaluation Research at the FDA, said the administration is talking to health systems and other types of providers about whether they can meet the requirements."We will be looking at the ability of the healthcare system to get this into people's veins," Woodcock said in a call with reporters.
The treatment also may be administered in hospital emergency departments and "alternate care sites" set up by hospitals and health departments under the "hospital without walls" waiver provided by CMS to support a surge of hospitalized patients."
