The worst news for apps that track coronavirus contacts: there is no foolproof method to calculate if they are useful "In Andalusia we have trained all health personnel, but it may happen that someone has not read the emails or has just returned from vacation"; Lage then defended. From August 24 to mid-September, Andalusia had delivered about 200 codes to confirm positive on RadarCOVID. In the same period of time, new coronavirus cases in the region were 11,000. Despite Sage's words and the clarifications from the Andalusian Health Ministry to Business Insider Spain , the reception of Primary Care physicians that this medium has been able to verify invites less optimism. Ana María Gómez is the regional member of Primary Care of the Andalusian Council of Medical Associations.
With respect to the generation of codes for RadarCOVID, we find, once again, a lot of variability depending on health centers." "There are centers in which they have not received any type of information and what doctors know is through specialized media: they do not have specific knowledge about the platform," he points out. " In other centers, only Lithuania Mobile Number List the people in charge of disseminating this information to the rest of the colleagues have been informed." "Other centers have received specific training and clear instructions." Andrés Jiménez, the member also of Primary Care but for the Medical Union of Andalusia, the SMA, sees the same thing. "What I have been able to verify in the area of Primary Care is that doctors are overwhelmed. In hospitals too, be careful, the entire system is overwhelmed.
For this reason, Jiménez understands that "the last thing doctors are thinking about is getting on top of handing out codes to patients." "Between the normal consultations, between the telephone consultations, between the fact that they have to act as trackers, or the home notifications... the situation is chaotic," he reflects. "Imagine a consultation with an elderly person: until they find out why they have to say who they have been with... that can't be done in 5 minutes." "I'm not aware that many doctors have been given training on how those codes are delivered." "I think doctors are not wasting much time with that. They come across reality. If a doctor has to see 80 patients a day, the last thing they are going to think about is how they have to deliver these codes.
