Veterans' Response To An Automated Text Messaging Protocol During The Covid-19 Pandemic
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL INFORMATICS ASSOCIATION(2020)
摘要
The US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is using an automated short message service application named "Annie" as part of its coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response with a protocol for coronavirus precautions, which can help the veteran monitor symptoms and can advise the veteran when to contact his or her VA care team or a nurse triage line. We surveyed 1134 veterans on their use of the Annie application and coronavirus precautions protocol. Survey results support what is likely a substantial resource savings for the VA, as well as non-VA community healthcare. Moreover, the majority of veterans reported at least 1 positive sentiment (felt more connected to VA, confident, or educated and/or felt less anxious) by receiving the protocol messages. The findings from this study have implications for other healthcare systems to help manage a patient population during the coronavirus pandemic.
