The projects include:
1. TrekIT, a HIPAA-compliant, interdisciplinary collaboration tool for front-line clinicians created by clinicians at Penn Medicine. The tool can support team-based collaboration during times of extreme strain and do not require IT resources to deploy.
2. California-based Stanford has begun to develop advanced mapping tools called “Care Everywhere – Happy Together” for organizations to identify positive and negative COVID-19 tests within their native system and trigger clinical decision support tools.
3. Sutter Health in Sacramento, Calif., developed bi-directional closed-loop referral workflows to exchange information for quicker referral turnaround times.
