How can Test to Treat for COVID-19 improve experiences for patients with other health issues in the future?

Early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment can change the course of patients with COVID-19. As the pandemic evolves, future COVID-19 variants may be more severe, in which case Test to Treat could be even more important. A similar approach has been used effectively in HIV and can be applied to other scenarios including bacterial infections, traumatic injuries and more. Practicing this approach for early, accurate diagnosis and management of acute patient presentations has potential for better patient care experiences and outcomes.
