How Collective Medical’s Real-time Platform is Responding to COVID-19
Collective Medical has developed a real-time event notification and care collaboration platform ideally positioned to enhance regions’ and states’ ability to identify, treat, trace and analyze infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.
This functionality is free to all existing clients and those not yet participating in the Collective network for the remainder of 2020.
The platform connects patient data via a nationwide network in use by approximately 1,000 hospitals, tens of thousands of providers—including primary care clinics, behavioral health clinics, FQHCs, skilled nursing facilities and other ambulatory providers—as well as every national health plan in the country. The network spans 50 states and covers many ports of entry into the United States.
Collective’s unparalleled network and sophisticated, configurable product capabilities position us to uniquely offer value to public health agencies and related stakeholders in combating infectious disease outbreaks. The size of our facility footprint allows public health officials to identify and locate individuals across the United States—whether these individuals are already known to be at-risk, or if they present with symptoms that independently indicate they are high-risk. Known risk factors can be integrated from a vast variety of source systems and pushed directly into provider workflow at the point of care. This information can then be used by highly trained medical professionals to identify those in need of isolation and further assessment.
Public health departments in states and regions where Collective’s platform is currently implemented can benefit from COVID-19 functionality almost immediately. For those regions that have not yet adopted Collective, implementation is a fast and lightweight process. And their participation in the Collective network will support the larger care continuum’s ability to quickly and effectively manage outbreaks.
