Snippet: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic forced health care organizations to adapt and modify delivery of ambulatory care to patients. Yale Medicine initiated several measures including screening of patients prior to and at arrival in the clinics.

We report our experience of screening 282 669 patients entering ambulatory settings over a year. We improvised the screening process with evolving knowledge of COVID-19. On average, 0.1% of patients failed screening and were rescheduled. Trends of the screening failure and the community prevalence of COVID-19 were similar. Patient screening is a useful tool to reduce the risk of exposure to patients and staff in ambulatory settings during the pandemic.
