Challenges and Solutions for Administering the COVID-19 Vaccine at High Volume

As the COVID-19 vaccination becomes available, beginning with healthcare workers and long-term care residents, many medical institutions are quickly coordinating vaccination administration for their staff and residents.

That’s why Clearwave has rolled out a COVID-19 Vaccination Management solution, enabling customers to process a high volume of vaccinations quickly. This week, we were able to reconfigure an existing customer within ten minutes to set up a location to process hospital personnel to receive the vaccine. This customer will vaccinate 900 staff members from three different hospitals within the next 10 days.

What you should know:

• The COVID-19 vaccine is a 2-dose series delivered at 21-day intervals
• Clearwave can accurately process a high volume of vaccination patients. Customers can setup off-site, satellite or temporary vaccination locations leveraging Clearwave Connect for Mobile, Tablet or Kiosk. 
• Clearwave Connect can check in returning patients on average within 1 minute and new patients on average within 3 minutes, expediting vaccination clinics and reducing patient wait times
• Eligibility verification can be run in real-time to process co-pays and inform patients of their financial responsibility, if applicable, as the vaccination is rolled out to larger groups
• Clearwave’s cloud-based data collection is quick and agile and allows for robust reporting, documentation and administrator insight
• Clearwave can easily manage 2-stage appointments through Clearwave Scheduling to effectively administer both doses on schedule
• Clearwave is already an expert in healthcare operations for hospitals, FQHCS, health systems and specialty practices

If you’re unfamiliar with Clearwave, we are a comprehensive patient engagement platform that does the work of many different vendors to boost providers’ bottom line, empower their people and engage their patients. In 2020, we worked in collaboration with our customers to serve healthcare’s front lines and won a 2020 iAward for driving innovation in healthcare.
