Divurgent deploys solutions to both put people back to work and assist healthcare organizations and patients combat the COIVD-19 crisis
April 5, 2020 Virginia Beach, VA – Divurgent, an international IT consulting company, announced today that it developed a solution to launch large scale patient outreach efforts while supporting small businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. Divurgent has contracted with small businesses in the restaurant and hospitality industry to assist converting in-person patient appointments to video or phone visits and to ensure patients are able to use the required technology before the appointment. By contracting directly with small businesses, Divurgent ensures employees maintain their jobs and benefits while still undergoing Divurgent’s rigorous training and management program. Ralph Whalen, Senior Vice President of Consulting Services, explains, “Our goal isn’t to just create new temporary jobs, we want to preserve the economic infrastructure that provided the jobs in the first place. This is about supporting both our partners and the communities they’re working so hard to protect.”
As the COVID-19 crisis develops, healthcare organizations are searching for ways to best protect their communities. Televisits maintain social distancing while offering access to much needed care. In addition to supporting the patient, telemedicine supports both provider and payer organizations. It maintains what may have been otherwise lost revenue for providers and prevents payers from issuing large reimbursements due to hospitalizations from contracting COVID-19 or forgoing regular care.
At the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, Divurgent was asked to support multiple organizations that needed to convert outpatient appointments to televisits. Divurgent’s model allows the company to deploy its services within 48 hours and reach out to up to 20,000 patients per day per organization.
“We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring together two industries hit hard by the coronavirus. Our patient outreach solution is a win-win for both healthcare organizations and the hospitality industry,” said Steve Weichhand, Vice President of Growth and Customer Experience at Divurgent.
Divurgent also recently announced a partnership with VirtualHealth to provide patient outreach services to support the deployment of a COVID-19 Care Management platform. This platform allows health plans or provider organizations to identify at-risk patients, assess symptoms, develop care plans, and provide appropriate resources and next steps for receiving care.
Divurgent has long been known for their ability to support large scale and programmatic engagements. These capabilities are proving invaluable to healthcare organizations as they adapt to shifting demands during this unprecedented time.
