COVID-19 Contact Tracing
Contact tracing is one of the most important elements in preventing the spread COVID-19. This involves identifying the contacts of those who have become infected and the places where they went when they became infected. These data are used to stop the spread of the disease. This can include asking COVID-19 patients not to go out and asking them to isolate. Contact tracing may also involve the collection of diagnostic respiratory specimens.
California state officials began to implement COVID-19 contacts tracing efforts in California. Many private healthcare providers and local health departments are supporting these efforts. The Governor's offices announced the creation of 80 to100 high-throughput testing facilities, in partnership with managed care organizations. This consortium will set up facilities that can process at least 10,000 tests each day.
For decades, contact-tracing has been a proven method of controlling infectious diseases. It has helped to contain diseases such as Ebola, MERS, SARS, and tuberculosis. When implemented properly, contact tracing is a highly effective tool that enables the vast majority of the population to return to normal daily life. It must be used widely in order to be effective.
COVID-19 vaccine management
Accenture recently released a COVID-19 management solution that supports healthcare organizations and government entities in creating COVID-19 vaccination programs. It leverages Salesforce's manual call tracing capability, and is easily deployable. It allows health organisations to securely track the resident's entire vaccination journey from registration, appointment scheduling, and finally administration. It also supports reporting and analytics.
Accenture will be supporting Gavi, a global alliance aiming to ensure equitable access for COVID-19 vaccines. This multilateral effort aims to distribute 2 billion vaccine doses worldwide by 2021. It aims at increasing vaccine access in low-income and middle income countries.
It is a huge effort that requires coordination of technology platforms, supply chains, and other infrastructure. It also requires significant education and engagement to ensure maximum coverage. While some jurisdictions have huge, centralized vaccination centers, others rely upon networks of pharmacies or healthcare providers to administer the vaccine. All jurisdictions must maintain contact management.
