A: Though we cannot speak for other software

providers, most nonprots measure the impact of

Skedulo in terms of productivity improvements,

where on average deskless workers are 32% more

productive with Skedulo than without. That’s 30%

more patients seen, more relief delivered, more blood

drawn. From a pure ROI perspective, a Skedulo de-

ployment typically delivers a return between 12 and

24 months. ■

SOFTWARE (continued from page 5) Quest Diagnostics commits $100

million for new health initiative

Quest Diagnostics and the Quest Diagnostics

Foundation have announced a wide-ranging ini-

tiative to address and reduce health disparities in

underserved communities, including those impacted

by COVID-19. The multiyear initiative will provide

a combination of donated testing services, education

programs, partnerships and nancial support.

Quest plans to donate testing services and fund a

range of initiatives estimated to total more than $100

million aimed at improving access to testing and aware-

ness of the value of diagnostic insights, the company

said. The initiative will focus on serving people of

color, elderly and homeless populations in locations

throughout the United States. The company and the

Quest Foundation will partner with federally qualied

health centers, long-term care facilities, schools and

universities, community organizations and others to

nd new ways to address health disparities.

The initiative aims to close gaps in COVID-19

testing availability, address key social determinants

of health that have limited access to testing and better

health in some communities, enable long-term impact

in communities and drive awareness and education

on the importance of appropriate diagnostic testing

for health and wellness.
