As the first U.S. healthcare workers begin to receive COVID-19 vaccines, Microsoft has launched a vaccine management platform for both government and healthcare customers.

The tech giant is working with business partners including Accenture, Avanade, EY, and Mazik Global to deploy vaccine management solutions that enable registration capabilities for patients and providers, phased scheduling for vaccinations, streamlined reporting, and management dashboarding with analytics and forecasting, Microsoft said.

“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,” said David Rhew, chief medical officer and vice president healthcare, worldwide commercial business at Microsoft in a blog post. “It is imperative that implementations be delivered on time and customized to meet the needs of every government and healthcare customer. As much as possible, newly introduced technologies should integrate with existing systems of record to keep workflow changes and costs to a minimum.”

Rhew said the underlying technologies and approach for the vaccine management solutions have been tested and deployed with prior COVID-19 use cases, including contact tracing, COVID-19 testing, and return to work and return to school programs.
