Learn about a mobile platform for COVID-19 response

Learn more about a new mobile electronic health records (EHR) platform for COVID-19 response. This will enable patient screening and triage outside of a typical health care setting using Epic Systems’ and OCHIN technology.

How does it work?

Providers

Providers can use the platform to:

Perform intake, screening, and testing for COVID-19
Document symptoms and vitals using the provided COVID-19 template
Facilitate patient care across multiple sites, utilizing technology that can be installed on a range of devices

Patients

Using a computer or smart device, patients can use a link from participating providers to:

Complete a symptom checker to determine whether or not they should receive testing
Select a testing location
Enter the time they plan to arrive and their contact information
Get a testing appointment

When will this be available?

We expect this to be available in April. Once live, the platform will be available on HCA’s mobile app for COVID-19 response page. Stay tuned!

Want to know more?

Providers are invited to learn more during our upcoming webinar, Thursday, April 9 at 10 a.m.

Please register ASAP as there are limited slots.
