  2. • If you haven’t already, register at VirtualPractices.org • Access the latest testing resources • Establish your testing infrastructure for the COVID Era • Capitalize on testing with tactical scenarios to ignite and grow your Objectives practice • Log your questions and send them to: impact@virtualpractices.org • Next session : Launch: Re-starting and growing your practice in the COVID Era

  3. Anticipate Disruption Expect recurring cycles of social distancing and containment measures.

  4. Acknowledge Trends • Telehealth • Health moving to the home • Home testing • Digital health • Remote monitoring • Virtualization of work

  5. Fragile Engagement Models • Fragility of patient engagement • Defined care plans vs. build it as we go

  14. The Patient Solution Kit ?

  15. Ultra Immune Defense

  16. Mobile Phlebotomy • Specialty Stix Mobile Phlebotomy • Heather Mayhew, CEO • Hmayhew@specialtystix.com • (530) 300-1958 • Evexia Diagnostics • Rupa Health • Lab kits without mobile phlebotomy

  17. Putting These Tools to Use

  18. • Use the rapid test (order your inventory of kits) • Negatives receive the Immune Defense Kit and/ or other prevention program • Stock an inventory of Immune Defense Antibody Kits • Consider the Lifestyle Risk Check and/or Respiratory Resilience Panel Testing • Positives receive the PCR test • Stock salivary kits in the office Campaign • For existing patients, use the visit to: • Evaluate other health issues (draw (In-office) other labs) • Develop a Health Action Plan • Review telehealth tools and future lock-down procedures • Invite patients to extend the opportunity to others.

  19. • Use the imaware test (no inventory required) • Conduct a virtual visit to review results • For existing patients, use the visit to: • Evaluate other health issues Antibody (recommend other home tests) • Develop a Health Action Plan Testing • Review telehealth tools and future lock-down procedures • Negatives receive the Immune Defense Kit Campaign and/ or other prevention program • Consider the Lifestyle Risk Check (virtual) and/or Respiratory Resilience Panel • Positives receive the PCR test • Direct patients to order their own test • Invite patients to extend the opportunity to others.

  20. • Lifestyle Risk Check (targeting average or elevated risk patients) • Respiratory Resilience Panel • Promote to current patients and outreach to other pockets of Other health-activated people (i.e. CrossFit, personal trainers, etc.) Campaigns • Health clubs may also wish to make COVID testing available to members. • Drug-Nutrient Depletion Campaign • Targeting patients on PPIs, anti-inflammatories, etc. for immune support supplementation

  21. Employers With the tools at your disposal, you could work with employers.

  22. Screenin • Back to work 3 • Individual or group testing in g response to symptoms or exposure Scenario • Total staff or department/shift level viral RNA screenings on a s proactive, recurring basis

  23. Problems You Can Solve • Companies know they need to test but need expert help with: • Selecting quality tests • Managing costs and minimizing disruption • Making decisions based on results • Building a risk management strategy that suits their needs (at a department or function level) • Supporting infected plan members and minimize unnecessary health claims • Average cost per admission: $72,000 (source: Covered California) • Average hospital stay: 12 days • Average COVID-19 related outpatient visit: $600 • Local hospitals are not able to respond to these needs. • COVID has created a need for a Chief Medical Officer across employers.

  24. Population Prevention Initiatives • Targeted measures for higher risk plan members and/ or executives: • Lifestyle Risk Check • Respiratory Resilience • Full nutraceutical support • Immune Defense Kit • Population-wide vitamin D optimization • Vitamin D testing • Members with vitamin D levels lower than 60 receive supplementation

  25. • Join the Virtual Practices Facebook community. • Load the Ultra Immune Defense Kit in your Kaerwell store. • Select a testing campaign to get started. • Order what you need (if anything) for your office. Homework • Notify us if you are interested in working with employers. • Submit your questions and requests for help to: Impact@VirtualPractices.org • Next Workshop : Launch! Re-starting and growing your practice in the COVID Era
