Disclaimer

The protocols aggregated on this website have been retrieved from publicly available protocols published by other institutions on their own websites. The intended audience for these protocols is primarily healthcare providers. The protocols may have been developed specifically for the circumstances, clinical environments, infrastructure, and practitioners of those institutions, and should not be interpreted as immediately applicable to other institutions without taking into account individual and local factors. They may not have been peer-review and may not necessarily reflect that institution's current or most recent practices. For the most accurate and up-to-date official guidance, please visit CDC Guidance for Healthcare Professionals.

The protocols listed in this database may have been updated or revised by their authors since the date that they were first published. Where possible, we have linked directly to the webpage managed by the institution on which updates to the protocol appear. We will monitor static protocols for updates. If the published date reported in the table is blank, then the protocol is either continuously updated at that page or did not have a reported date of publication. For other dates, if the published date reported in the table is not within 1 day of the date you are viewing it, please refer to the original source for more recent information.

The protocols published in this database are not endorsed by the contributers and publishers of this website. The purpose of this database is to provide hospital administrators and practitioners with rapid access to protocols used by peer institutions to assist with information-sharing in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The scientific and medical communities’ knowledge of COVID-19 changes hourly and protocols must adapt rapidly to incorporate new information. We hope that institutions will be able to use the protocols aggregated here to learn from others’ experiences and to inform their own decisions about modifications to internal COVID-19 protocols.

We are a growing team of medical and science students from universities across the U.S. We aim to aggregate up-to-date resources related to COVID-19 protocols within hospitals to assist with collaborative protocol optimization. We hope that this database will encourage sharing of protocol guidelines among hospitals worldwide.
