In this week of This Week in Health Tech, Vik and Jimmy tackle a very timely topic about COVID vaccine scheduling for health systems.
Vaccines are here, Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca. The phone is ringing off the hook at health systems, which is creating operations issues for health systems. Clogged up phone lines does not help with patient care because more critical issues might not get the attention they deserve.
Vaccine protocols are changing and currently, healthcare staff members, long term care facilities, and elderly people are prioritized over the general population.
Now the number of vaccine shots are limited and health systems need to figure out a way to provide vaccine to people in the community. Roll out of vaccines is definitely a logistics issue.
Jimmy and Vik dive into different ways to set up online scheduling for vaccines that could be useful for health systems.
