ACCESS NYC
Accenture was chosen by the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications for its assistance in creating a new portal to public and private services. HHS Connect is a program that aims to improve citizen service delivery through flexible, modern technology. The platform will also make it easier to manage and access public information regarding health and other services. Accenture's specialist team will help improve existing systems and develop new technology.
COVID-19 contact tracing
Contact tracing is one of the most important elements in preventing the spread COVID-19. Contact tracing is the process of identifying those who have been infected with the virus, their contacts and the places they visited at the time. This information can then be used to interrupt the spread of the disease. This can include asking COVID-19 patients not to go out and asking them to isolate. Contact tracing also includes the collection diagnostic respiratory specimens.
California state officials began to implement COVID-19 contacts tracing efforts in California. These efforts are supported by many private health providers and local departments of health. The Governor's office announced that 80 to 100 high-throughput test centers will be created in collaboration with a managed healthcare consortium. The consortium has established facilities capable of processing at least 10,000 test per day.
For decades, contact-tracing has been a proven method of controlling infectious diseases. It has helped to contain diseases such as Ebola, MERS, SARS, and tuberculosis. Contact tracing is a highly efficient tool that allows the majority of the population to return back to their normal lives when it is done properly. However, it must be implemented widely to be effective.
COVID-19 vaccine management
Accenture recently released a COVID-19 management solution that supports healthcare organizations and government entities in creating COVID-19 vaccination programs. It uses Salesforce's manual contact traceability capability and can be easily deployed. It allows health organisations to securely track the resident's entire vaccination journey from registration, appointment scheduling, and finally administration. It also supports reporting, analytics, and data management.
Accenture will be supporting Gavi, a global alliance aiming to ensure equitable access for COVID-19 vaccines. This multilateral effort aims to distribute 2 billion vaccine doses worldwide by 2021. Its focus is to increase vaccine access in low and middle-income countries.
COVID-19's vaccination program requires coordination of technology platforms. Additionally, it requires significant education to ensure maximum coverage. Some jurisdictions have large, centralized vaccination centers. Others rely on networks of healthcare providers and pharmacies to administer the vaccine. However, all jurisdictions need to maintain contact management.

How To
What does a typical consultant's day look like?
Depending on what type of work you do, your typical day may vary. However, the majority of your day will consist of research and planning, meeting clients and preparing reports.
Meetings are a common way to discuss problems and issues with clients. These meetings can be held over the telephone, online or face-to face.
Sometimes, you may be asked to create proposals. These are documents that outline your ideas and plans for clients. Before presenting these proposals to clients, you will usually need to discuss them with a colleague or mentor.
After all the preparation and planning, it's time to actually create some content. You could write articles, design websites, edit photos or conduct interviews.
Depending on your project's scope, it may be necessary to do research to get relevant statistics. This could include finding out how many customers your company has and whether they purchase more than one product.
Once you have enough information, it is time to present your findings and conclusions to clients. You can either present your findings in writing or orally.
After your initial consultation, you should follow up with your clients. You might contact them regularly to check on their progress or send them emails to confirm they have received your proposal.
Although this process can take time, it is important to stay focused and build good relationships with your clients.
