Occupation Health and safety in the pandemic: Using technology to manage your workplace

COVID-19 has shown us how quickly the world can change in such a short span. In the past year, every business across the world has experienced an enormous change in terms of its various operations. The essential services and a few other organisations are working from office amid COVID, and they have implemented latest technology that has helped employers keep their employees safe. If not already, the organisations must adopt the latest measures to keep up with the “new normal” that is being defined as per the changing situation.

RioMed’s solution for Occupational Health service is designed to support organisations in facing the challenges related to the dynamic pandemic response and business continuity effort. Cellma COVID is a portal that we designed to provide easier access to the online screening of all the employees in the organisation along with testing and contact tracing if required. This has been proven to help organisations to manage health screening campaigns for employees efficiently.

Pre-configured questionnaire assists in efficient return-to-work health screening & symptom tracking. Timely assessments and availability of assessment results for inclusion into the employee’s records are essential for employers’ decision making to allocate resources. This information is important to know who is fit to work on-site and who should continue to self-quarantine. Cellma has assisted organisations to streamline absence tracking to ensure workforce availability that supports business continuity. Cellma’s customisable visual dashboards offer real-time access to key indicators and actionable insights.

Cellma’s communication module allows for both the organisation and the employee to be alerted through text, email, or through notifications in the patient app of the updates or readiness of tests and assessments provided by the service ensuring transparency. The updates help employers to make decisions efficiently.

Cellma can also assist organisations to keep a track on the employees who have been vaccinated for COVID. According to CDC “After employees are fully vaccinated, they may be able to start doing some things they had stopped doing because of the pandemic. However, in work settings, even after employees receive a COVID-19 vaccine, they may still need to take steps to protect themselves and others in many situations.”

Later, Occupational Health services can also benefit from Cellma’s ability to create defined fitness for work assessments and provide recall for statutory monitoring, eye test, hearing, respiratory & other clinical investigations like urine & alcohol. Cellma’s patient portal gives users access to their patient profile details, assessment results and available practice locations for bookings. Access to this profile can be facilitated online or through Cellma’s patient app which also allows for easy communication between patients and their health practitioners.
