1. What did your company do prior to COVID-19?
Our company was focused on delivering software and clinical services to serve patients suffering from Opioid Use Disorder.
2. What does your company do now in response to COVID-19?
We have created two offerings to help the clinical community with the current challenges they are facing:
- Drive thru COVID testing management software
- FREE Telemedicine solution allowing patients to schedule virtual visits online with their current physicians since face to face visits are a challenge in a time of social distancing.
On March 20th, we were approached by multiple entities about the evolving needs of healthcare and we made the decision to contribute solutions to these challenges.
4. How has your business model, target market, or execution strategy changed as a result?
Temporarily we are focused on enabling as many clinicians as possible to have access to telemedicine technology at no cost so that they can at least provision services to a portion of the patients they were previously scheduled to provide services to.
The target market is broader than our typical market as we are addressing any physicians whose specialty allows them to provide services via telemedicine.
Execution is now focused on iterating through daily learnings from initial clients on how we can get provide a scalable easy to use solution to a broader audience.
5. What problem were you initially trying to solve (and if you pivoted), what problem did you eventually solve? and why?
In the world of medication assisted treatment costs are out of control with a lack of promising outcomes. Our goal is to control the costs while improving outcomes and it has proven successful in an initial pilot study.
Our new solution has been to expand access to physicians lacking the necessary technology to provide telemedicine services to their patients. In less than a week from launch we had already seen nearly 20 hours of virtual visits had occurred within the system.
6. What does your company do?
We leverage our Meaningful Use certified EHR technology to rapidly create new solutions which either improve efficiencies or create new and disruptive approaches to long-standing healthcare challenges.
7. What were some accomplishments from your company?
We were able to deploy a simple to use telemedicine application for both doctors and patients within 10 days of beginning our efforts
We have assisted the North Carolina Medical Society on educating their 1,000’s of member doctors on how to leverage telehealth.
8. What were some pitfalls that you did not expect to come across and how did you move past them?
We did not explain expect the entities that were in need of solutions would be so overwhelmed that they didn’t have time to talk about potential solutions.
We also didn’t expect lab testing for COVID-19 to be so backed up that mass screening would not be highly utilized.
