How do I know if my patient is a good candidate for a JH PACT referral?

JH PACT is generally a good fit for COVID-19 patients who required ICU care for at least 48 hours. A JH PACT referral can also be beneficial to seriously ill patients who experienced any of the following, even if they didn’t need an ICU stay:

• Significant persistent respiratory symptoms
• New or increased oxygen requirements at discharge 
• Inpatient pulmonary consultation that recommended enrollment in the program
• Inpatient rehabilitation consultation with recommendations for post-discharge rehab

Finally, patients with lingering symptoms eight weeks post-COVID-19 diagnosis may qualify; a physician referral is required for discussion of services and evaluation. 

Physician referral is required for an appointment in the JH PACT clinic.

*Please note that due to COVID-19 volume fluctuations, eligibility criteria are subject to change.
