- Suspected or under investigation for COVID-19 or have a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis
How do I refer a patient to PRIORITY?

Do I need IRB approval to refer a patient?
No – UCSF IRB has given permission for you to refer a patient and send her contact information as long as she has agreed to send her contact information to us.
Do I need to document that my patient has given permission to pass her name to UCSF?
If you would like, you may document in the medical record that the patient has given permission to share her information. We have attached a template form to use for this purpose.
What will happen if I refer a patient?
After you refer a patient, we will reach out directly to her to enroll her into the registry. The UCSF team will contact the patient by phone, text, or e-mail and ask her to enroll in the study. We will consent her to enroll by phone or online, we will then contact the patient at the following time points:
If enrolled while pregnant:
- Once a week for 4 weeks, once a trimester, and then 6 weeks post partum to assess her health outcomes
If enrolled post partum:
- Once a week for 4 weeks, and then 8 weeks post partum to assess her health outcomes
You will not be asked to collect any information from your patient who enrolled in this study
Will I be required to send any information about my patient to UCSF?
We will ask the patient to sign an authorization to release medical records. We will contact you or your office to assist us in obtaining medical record information.
How will results of the registry be shared?
We are working to conduct analysis quickly to improve our understanding of the impact of COVID-19 among pregnant women. We will post on our website a summary of our findings as soon as they become available.
