COVID-19 contact trace
Contact tracing, which is an important part of controlling the spread COVID-19, is a critical element. It involves identifying people who have contracted the disease, their contacts, as well as the places they visited while infected. This information is used to prevent the spread of disease. This may include asking COVID-19-positive patients to stay at home or isolate. Contact tracing can also include the collection of diagnostic respiratory specimens.
California state officials have begun to implement COVID-19 contact trace efforts within the state. Many private hospitals and local health departments support these efforts. The Governor's Office announced the establishment of 80-100 high-throughput testing centres, in partnership with a managed care consortium. This consortium is establishing facilities to process 10,000 tests daily.
Contact tracing has been a proven method for controlling infectious diseases for decades. It has been proven to be effective in controlling diseases like Ebola. MERS, SARS and tuberculosis. Contact tracing can be a very effective tool to allow the vast majority to resume their normal lives. To be effective, however, contact tracing must be widely used.
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 agencies to track the vaccination journey of a resident, from registration through appointment scheduling and final administration. It can also be used for reporting and analytics.
Accenture will help Gavi, a global coalition that aims to provide equitable access COVID-19-vaccinal vaccines. This multilateral effort aims to distribute 2 billion vaccine doses worldwide by 2021. It aims to improve vaccine access in low- and middle-income countries.
COVID-19 vaccine program is a large effort that requires the coordination of technology platforms and supply chain. To ensure maximum coverage, the program requires extensive education and engagement. Some jurisdictions use large, centrally administered vaccination centers. Others depend on networks made up of pharmacists and other healthcare providers to administer vaccines. All jurisdictions must maintain contact management.
