How Healthcare Leaders Are Leveraging Patient Engagement Software to Distribute COVID-19 Vaccines

With a second vaccine now approved (and easier to store) and more coming in the near future, distribution will expand to more organizations of all structures and sizes. Healthcare leaders who have yet to receive the vaccine are already planning for how they’ll schedule and communicate with their patients when they receive it, which often requires a quick response and short lead time.

One of the greatest hurdles healthcare organizations encounter as they work to establish a vaccination program and get the schedule filled is finding the resources to schedule vaccine appointments. It takes an enormous amount of resources to do this manually, but many find that self-service technology like patient self-scheduling can lighten the load.

Several patient engagement software providers have recently released quick-start self-scheduling modules in response to the growing and immediate need to help hospitals, health systems, and medical groups schedule vaccine appointments quickly and easily.
