Healthcare IT Leaders, BD, and TrackMy Solutions Provide Critical COVID-19 Testing Services and Support to Camp Barney Medintz in Summer of 2021
Health and safety are always the top priority at Camp Barney Medintz, the residential camp of the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA). After having to make the difficult but necessary decision to not open camp in the summer of 2020, Camp Barney Medintz knew that one critical component of opening in the Summer of 2021 would be a comprehensive COVID-19 testing program.
Camp Barney Medintz turned to Healthcare IT Leaders, BD, and TrackMy™ Solutions for COVID-19 testing services. Healthcare IT Leaders worked closely with Camp Barney Medintz to develop and implement a COVID-19 testing strategy utilizing test result notification technology from TrackMy Solutions and rapid antigen testing with the BD Veritor™ Plus System.
On the first day of each session, Healthcare IT Leaders conducted COVID-19 rapid antigen tests from BD on every camper. Results were provided in 15-20 minutes through an app from TrackMy Solutions. A second COVID-19 test was administered later in each session.
“In preparing for Summer 2021, we convened an advisory group comprised of expert public health and medical professionals and closely monitored all guidance from local, state, and national agencies, as well as the American Camp Association,” said Jim Mittenthal, Camp Barney Medintz Director. “Efficient and accurate COVID-19 testing was a crucial part of our reopening plan, and we are grateful for our partnership with Healthcare IT Leaders. The testing process was seamless and the rapid results instrumental to a smooth summer.”
