Managing the Incredible Complexity of the COVID Vaccine Campaign - Dr. Suman De and Dr. Amy Osmond-Cook, Infosys

What this episode covers

“When you have multiple vaccines, managing the second shot becomes more critical because a Pfizer dose has to be followed up with a Pfizer dose. You cannot substitute one for the other,” says Dr. Suman De, head of Government Healthcare Solutions for Infosys Public Services. Add other logistical, clinical and communications challenges to the mix, and it becomes clear the COVID vaccine rollout is an enormously complex undertaking in need of systems and processes that can handle all the complexity. That’s where Infosys and Simplus come in. As De and his colleague Dr. Amy Osmond Cook describe in this episode of Raise the Line, the companies have developed a platform in partnership with Salesforce designed to help government agencies, hospitals and others manage the various aspects of this vaccination effort from public engagement to supply chain to scheduling to data management. It’s modular, so users can pick and choose which capabilities fit their needs. Tune in as host Shiv Gaglani explores the strategy behind tackling the most important and unique public health effort of our time.
