InterSystems has released functionality to its TrakCare® platform to support its customer base globally screen the Coronavirus.
The functionality will help clinicians screen and support patients with the Coronavirus, recently named 2019-nCov by World Health Organisation.
The functionality is available to users of the latest editions of TrakCare, and InterSystems customers in China and other countries, including the UK and United Arab Emirates.
The company said their customers have already begun to use the functionality which uses World Health Organisation guidance, and a link to the Wuhan Coronavirus Global Cases tracking app provided by the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering in the US.
There have now been over 40,000 confirmed cases across China of the virus, with the death toll now exceeding 1,000.
Hazem El Oraby, MD, chief medical officer for TrakCare at InterSystems “InterSystems keeps a close watch on the world’s healthcare requirements, so it can respond to issues that it can help to address in a timely manner. We are proud to have deployed this quickly for our users.”
“This is a great example of how TrakCare can be updated in real-time to urgently respond to threats and deployed rapidly to the organisations and clinicians that need it; particularly those using the latest edition of our systems.”
Mike Fuller, marketing director, InterSystems UK “The NHS is taking every precaution to avoid the spread of 2019-nCoV in the United Kingdom. We are proud to provide our TrakCare customers with this functionality to aid in this effort.”
