The Covid-19 Vaccine Distribution Strategy Is Struggling. Care Management Can Help.

Traditionally, care management technology has been utilized by health insurance companies. However, its tremendous benefits are being increasingly understood by providers and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) on the front lines of the vaccine distribution effort.

These automated protocols can take the burden off providers and health officials trying to manage the difficult process of determining who should be first in line for something that is needed by hundreds of millions of people.

The granular population data tracked by care management solutions can help determine vulnerability levels by area, pinpointing locations and individuals at highest risk. In turn, this can help establish equitable distribution by determining where to set up vaccine clinics to reach the most recipients and then identify who among them meets regional criteria for eligibility.
