Use Cases

Description:

We white-labeled and fully-configured a COVID-19 screener to the care access points (hospitals, telemedicine providers, nurse hotlines, and at-home resources of a 17-hospital system (reach out to learn specifics). A COVID-alert message on the home page routes users to the option to screen their symptoms for risk of infection and presentation of system-wide care options. The entire process of whitelabeling, configuring, implementing, testing, and going live was complete in 5 business days.

Pediatric use cases:

Clearstep's virtual triage platform is able to route >99% of adult and pediatric chief complaints towards their evidence-based next step.

Users:

Once live, an e-mail campaign was sent out to 650,000 residents in the areas surrounding the system to inform them that they could screen their symptoms. The email achieved the highest engagement rates of any mailer ever (3x higher email open rate and click-through rates). The COVID screener was used 30,000 times in the first three days.
