COVID-19 Nationwide Symptom Tracking Solution Released by Data Point of Care
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Data Point of Care releases COVID-19 Nationwide Symptom Tracking Solution. Consumers access the tracking solution from Get Your Health Record and complete the COVID-19 Health Screening and Social Determinants of Health questionnaire. Healthcare providers access the consumer responses using Patient Lookup.
50-plus million Medicare beneficiaries, as Get Your Health Record is approved by Medicare, get an added benefit to retrieve their 4-year health history and share with their healthcare providers and family members. We urge consumers and healthcare providers to view the videos for Medicare here and non-Medicare here. Account setup, screening and health history form completion and the added benefit for Medicare beneficiaries of retrieving their 4-year health history is free.
In early March, Data Point of Care released a COVID-19 high risk analysis of 5-plus million Medicare beneficiaries to their Accountable Care Organization (ACO) clients. The analysis provided metrics for underlying conditions, medications, travel and risk stratification. The release of the online symptom and social determinants tracking is the next phase to assist healthcare providers in combating COVID-19.
“Patients with underlying conditions are at the highest risk. Keeping people healthy and adhering to their medications is critical. Tracking symptoms is also crucial, so we can start managing these patients using virtual care before they show up at our healthcare provider doors at the hospitals, clinics and emergency departments.” Kris Gates, CEO, Data Point of Care
Hospitals, clinics and care management teams should contact David Weideman to coordinate the online screenings and high-risk analysis for their communities. Several certified electronic health record (EHR) companies are collaborating with Data Point of Care to deliver this critical data in the EHR at the point of care.
