Challenge of COVID-19

In 2020, when COVID-19 hit, Cape Regional became the predominant source of infectious disease testing in their area. Testing volume soared to over 500 patients a day, mainly due to COVID-19 testing needs. With the increase in testing, Cape Regional moved their infectious disease testing onto a fleet of Quidel Sofias.

Due to the requirement to report all COVID-19 test results to the state of New Jersey, Cape Regional found itself with the burden of reporting hundreds of test results a day, all manually.

Installing Relaymed

With the weight of the COVID-19 reporting, Cape Regional was desperately looking for a solution to automate their reporting processes. Relaymed’s state reporting was installed at Cape Regional in February of 2021. With Relaymed, Cape Regional was able to begin sending their tests to their EHR and to the state of New Jersey automatically with no manual work needed.

With the volume of patients that their practice was seeing, every minute mattered so the ability to run the tests on a device and have the result automatically sent to the EHR and the state instead of waiting for manual processes meant patients were in and out of the clinic faster.

Enabling Population Health Management for the Future

By combining the power of Relaymed’s connectivity with the accurate, objective and automated Sofia instruments, Cape Regional was able to reduce their workload by 10 hours a week while still accurately reporting their findings to the state.

As a primary testing facility for infectious disease in the area, the ability to properly report out their results to the state was vital to the community. Population health management has become more important than ever and reporting is the backbone to making accurate assessments of the health outcome of our society.
