Microsoft Initiates COVID-19 Vaccine Management Platform for Government, Healthcare Customers

New Delhi: With COVID-19 vaccines shortly to be accessible worldwide, Microsoft has initiated a vaccine management platform for both the government and healthcare customers.

A few of the Microsoft partners, including Avanade, Accenture, EY, and Mazik Global, are working towards vaccine-management offerings that utilize Microsoft cloud services.

Microsoft, in a statement late on Friday, stated: “To achieve the goal of an efficient, equitable, and safe delivery of the COVID-19 vaccine, close collaboration across agencies and partners will be the key to success.”

Microsoft added that it is imperative that implementations be delivered on time and customized to meet the needs of every government and healthcare customer.

Partners of Microsoft are effectively working with customers to dispatch vaccine management solutions that allow registration capabilities for patients and providers, phased planning for vaccinations, streamlined reporting, and management dashboarding with analytics and forecasting.

David Shaw, Chief Medical Officer and VP Healthcare, Worldwide Commercial Business, Microsoft said: “At Microsoft, we have been working with public- and private-sector organizations around the globe to help support this monumental task of delivering vaccines as quickly as possible, but also in a secure and equitable manner.”

Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS) has deployed more than 230 emergency COVID-19 response missions around the world since the pandemic started in March, including a recent commitment to guarantee the equitable, secure and efficient distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.

MCS has built up an offering, the Vaccination Registration and Administration Solution (VRAS), which progresses the capabilities of their COVID-19 solution portfolio and allows the compliant administration of resident evaluation, registration, and phased planning for vaccine distribution.

It allows the tracking and reporting of immunization progress through a secure information exchange that uses industry principles, for example, Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), Health Level Seven (HL7), and open APIs.

The organization said that Health providers and pharmacies can monitor and report on the effectiveness of particular vaccine batches, and health administrators can easily summarise the achievement of vaccine deployment goals in big population groups.
