Based on your health history and current medications, your health care team will determine which COVID-19 treatment is best for you. This will also depend on availability, as the Wisconsin Department of Health and Human Services oversees the distribution of supplies and determines how much of each drug is sent to Wisconsin hospitals.
The Froedtert & MCW Population Health and Medical Education team and Antimicrobial Stewardship Team developed a centralized process to make it easier for patients to receive the right COVID-19 treatment and for providers to prescribe it, and recently expanded the use of Paxlovid to our providers throughout the Froedtert system. Providers may directly prescribe Paxlovid or submit a referral to our central team, and our database matches each patient with the best treatment, based on their risk factors, and in some cases, lab results, which are ordered the same day.
