Healthvana Introduces Patient Platform to Support CDC’s COVID-19 Vaccination Playbook

Largest delivery platform for COVID-19 test results expands to include flu and COVID-19 vaccination records and patient follow-up 

LOS ANGELESSeptember 17, 2020 – Healthvana, Inc., the nation’s largest patient platform for COVID-19 and HIV test results, today announced its new mobile vaccination record and patient follow-up solution to support the CDC COVID-19 vaccination playbook released on September 16, 2020. The mobile vaccination record will also include flu vaccinations, enabling patients to have a comprehensive view of their vaccination status on their phones to share with schools, work or physicians.  

“This is going to be the largest and most complicated vaccination effort in history. There will be multiple vaccinations released for COVID-19 over the next several months—and success will be contingent on making sure each dose is given from the exact same manufacturer at the exact right time,” said Ramin Bastani, CEO of Healthvana. “Frankly, we need to make this easy for patients to manage or else the vaccination will not protect them or our communities.” 

The CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Program Interim Playbook for Jurisdiction Operations outlines how to handle multiple doses, with guidelines to help healthcare providers ensure patients know where and when to get their second dose. Healthvana provides a single mobile platform for patients to access vaccination records, as well as ongoing SMS communications reminding them of their follow-up appointment and next steps for a successful vaccination.     

Flu vaccines are being produced in record numbers as anxieties increase around symptom confusion and additional strain on healthcare resources. Many employers and schools are already requiring proof of flu vaccination. The Healthvana platform will clearly show flu vaccinations in the same mobile dashboard as COVID-19 vaccinations.  

The platform also offers a simple administrative view of vaccination status so large cities, businesses, labs and other organizations across the U.S. can manage and communicate with their citizens, employees and students effectively.  

Healthvana has delivered one out of every 40 COVID-19 test results in the U.S. The mobile platform also includes details on types of COVID-19 testing, including diagnostic and surveillance, lab and rapid point-of-care tests.

Healthvana Delivers Over One Million COVID-19 Test Results in Three Months

Expert in communicating anxiety-provoking patient health information becomes largest delivery network for COVID-19 test results in the U.S. 

LOS ANGELESAugust 25, 2020 – Healthvana, Inc., the U.S. leader in delivery and management of sensitive patient test results, today announced it has delivered more than one million COVID-19 test results to patients in the past three months. Results are sent directly to patients and are tailored specifically to reduce anxiety and support informed action. This approach leads to faster and healthier outcomes for patients, health officials, labs and employers.   

“Our country has never undergone this scale of coordinated testing before, so cities and labs are understandably scrambling to solve dozens of challenges involving resources, access, accuracy, speed and education – all without losing sight of the patient experience,” said Ramin Bastani, CEO of Healthvana. “By communicating easily through cell phones, we reach more patients, faster, and empower them and communities when they need it most.”   

COVID-19 test results have been widely discussed as exceptionally emotional, as patients wait days – if not weeks – for results. Delayed delivery of test results can impact a patient’s ability to return to work or school or see loved ones who are sick or in nursing homes. Meanwhile, every day test results are delayed, prospective carriers of COVID-19 may not be taking necessary precautions to prevent spread. Healthvana enables labs and other providers to immediately contact patients via mobile and email as soon as the test results are available, dramatically reducing delivery delay from days to hours and eliminating thousands of hours in phone calls. 

Bastani explains, “Behavior changes only when you know your results. Our goal is to ensure those results are delivered to everyone as quickly as possible; that patients have support to make informed choices around next steps; and that patients have easy and comprehensive access to their test results whenever they need them.” 

Healthvana’s HIPAA-compliant communication: 

  • delivers results to patients quickly and easily, only requiring date of birth to ensure accessibility to all patients regardless of socioeconomic status or race;  
  • currently deployed by counties, labs, employers, senior nursing facilities, homeless shelters and schools across the U.S.;  
  • compiles all COVID-19 tests results in one, easy-to-read dashboard for simplified access to information and reporting for administrators;  
  • reduces administrative costs, simplifies reporting, and enables providers and health officials to assess unviewed positives quickly; 
  • provides patients with actionable information on next steps to help care for themselves and prevent further spread of the disease. 

Healthvana was developed in 2015 as a vendor-agnostic patient portal that exclusively communicates sensitive test results that do not always fit in existing provider or electronic health record (EHR) workflows.
