Covid-19
My Topic for the Project is Covid-19 and my study would be Global as this is a Global Pandemic virus and we can see its effect from all around the world.
There are many information systems that can be used and there can be several metrics that helps to assess the Covid-19 Situation like the number of COVID-19 infections in patients with symptoms or without symptoms, no of patients in severe or in critical condition, death rate. Also, now the world is preparing it for the Vaccine and in that case Information systems can play a huge role. Most of the US States are now preparing for the Vaccine rollout and they are relying on efficient and cost-effective Information systems to track the Individuals, Vaccine doses required etc. The Information systems can help in variety of ways to sign up the people, using SurveyMonkey forms and hotlines.
EHR Vendors are preparing it for the to record the Vaccination and correctly pushed to the necessary parties which then can be accessible to all the caregivers. Mobile systems where the EHR team can track when, and where the dose was given and keep all the details.
