BATTLE CREEK, MI (WTVB/WNWN) – The Calhoun County Public Health Department is asking residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 to complete the Patient Education Genius (PEG) online survey which will be used to help support COVID-19 case investigations and prioritization of disease outbreaks.
This digital survey tool will combine with support from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for follow-up and monitoring of individuals identified as being close contacts to a confirmed COVID-19 case.
When the health department receives notification of a person who tested positive for COVID-19, the PEG system will issue that individual a text message and/or e-mail with a link to an online survey. The survey only asks for information that is allowable under the Public Health Code and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) Privacy Act.
The survey does not gather any private information like social security numbers, personal passwords, or banking details.
