“As students will start going back to school, it will be important to identify exposed individuals to stop the spread of the virus. Protecting the students from future outbreaks is extremely important”, says Vishal Vasanji, Co-founder & CEO of Relief Telemed
BATON ROUGE, La. (PRWEB)
June 08, 2020
Relief Telemed, a virtual care platform, and Neighborhood Health, an urgent care and primary care provider in Baton Rouge, announced today that it partnered together to provide COVID-19 and antibody testing to Catholic High School students, families, and faculty. The drive-thru testing event was held at Catholic High School’s campus. Relief Telemed’s newly launched COVID Mitigation Platform was utilized to facilitate all video visits with providers and coordinate all testing-day activities.
Relief’s COVID Mitigation Platform provides a turnkey solution to organizations looking to test a group of individuals. Individuals were required to pre-register through an online portal and given the option of a pre-test video visit through the Relief Telemed app with a Neighborhood Health provider. As participants approached the testing stations, they were checked in using the Relief Platform, which collected demographic information and created lab forms making for an efficient process. As lab results get processed, providers will be able to view patient records and lab results and provide individualized action plans.
“We recognized that as the economy starts to open back up, organizations interested in testing will need an organized approach to the entire process. There is a lot that goes into testing a large group of people. Our newly-launched COVID Mitigation Platform streamlines the process and provides a turnkey approach,” said Vishal Vasanji, Co-founder & CEO of Relief Telemed. “As students will start going back to school, it will be important to identify exposed individuals to stop the spread of the virus. Protecting the students to future outbreaks is extremely important,” added Vasanji.
According to Dr. Sanders, “In addition to testing, Catholic High families and faculty were able to get video visits with one of our providers through the Relief Telemed app before and after the testing event. Our providers were available to answer any questions related to the testing process as well as questions regarding the results. We were happy to partner with Relief Telemed to provide such a valuable service to the school.”
