DALLAS, March 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Blockit Inc., a
leading provider of digital care coordination solutions, today
announced that it will release its award-winning online patient
scheduling solution to any licensed healthcare provider performing
COVID-19 testing at no cost. The solution will empower provider
personnel, call center agents or screening center employees to
easily schedule and direct patients to testing centers with the

simplify patient access while improving outcomes and reducing

to effectively route patients to test sites and support
organizations struggling to handle the influx of patients on the
front lines by offering free access to our scheduling
platform."
Healthcare providers interested in utilizing this service to
seamlessly publish and manage location and testing schedules, can

advantage of our platform that is easily deployable and accessible
for patients who need access to tests," continued McCarley. "Their
participation is critical, and we believe that by working together,
we can connect our health systems so patients can quickly access
test sites that are imperative in containing the spread of
COVID-19."
