Healthcare organizations are finding creative ways to handle COVID-19 surges and vaccinate members of the community. At the University of Missouri Health Care, in Columbia, Missouri, for example, an IT team has come up with new ways to automate billing for vaccination administration and streamline information sharing between disparate EMRs and the state through a health information exchange. Similarly, at Palomar Health in Escondido, Calif., teams have significantly expanded bed capacity and created a way to support monoclonal antibody infusions (Bamlanivimab), which can protect high-risk groups. Join representatives of these organizations and learn how IT is helping them to address the pandemic’s many vexing challenges.
