As the COVID-19 vaccination efforts have continued throughout the United States, hospitals and health systems have often been on the front lines of scheduling and allocating inoculations for staff members and, increasingly, eligible members of the public.
Healthcare IT News asked chief information officers from around the country about the technologies they ve been using for scheduling appointments, tracking doses and keeping engaged with patients. And we asked what improvements would be helpful as the vaccination effort gains steam. This pandemic is unprecedented and our response has had to rise to the occasion, said Mike Mistretta, CIO at Virginia Hospital Center. We continue to challenge our vendor partners to keep pace with the dynamic workflows as they work with us hand-in-hand to advance our capabilities and improve access and service for the patient.
