As recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\nwithin their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/php\/preparing-communities.html\">Preparing\nCommunities for Potential Spread of COVID-19 action plan<\/a>, leveraging\ntelehealth tools to direct people to the right level of healthcare for their\nmedical needs should be part of first responders&#8217;, healthcare providers&#8217;, and\nhealth systems&#8217; response to this global outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Levering Telehealth as an Initial COVID-19 Screening Tool\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telehealth can serve as a force multiplier in the public\nhealth response to the COVID-19 outbreak, improving access to care directly\nfrom the home. Amwell and its associated Amwell Medical Group have been\nproactive from the outset to ensure care delivered across its national\ntelehealth network conforms to national and international standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to ongoing communication and training for the\nthousands of doctors who deliver care on Amwell&#8217;s platform, the company has\nestablished an always-on-call infection control officer, COVID-19 specific\nworkflows to guide clinical operations and quality, and has established a\nCOVID-19 Readiness Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why It Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&#8220;Telehealth is the ideal venue for initial screening of patients with respiratory conditions that are common in COVID-19,&#8221; said Peter Antall, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Amwell. &#8220;Our board-certified telehealth providers are trained to screen patients, assign risk, answer questions, and recommend the next steps a patient should take. For most patients we can help the patient heal at home. However, when necessary, we can facilitate a &#8220;white glove&#8221; transfer for in-person care. Not only can telehealth greatly minimize the demands on in-person primary care, urgent care, and emergency departments across the country; it can also reduce unnecessary risk to patients and care teams from further exposure to this highly infectious virus.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Peter Antall and Mike Putnam, Senior Vice President of\nConsumer Marketing at Amwell, will host a
