The Backstory
Dr. Savage—Care on Location founder and board-certified emergency physician—serves as a Colorado Medicaid telehealth service provider and provides multiple service lines to Medicaid patients throughout the state.
It was March 2020 when the novel coronavirus began spreading at a catastrophic global rate. The Colorado Department of Public Health and COVIDCheck Colorado entrusted Dr. John Savage to care for COVID-positive patients.
Reacting to the COVID storm, software applications focused on vaccine management and COVID testing appeared almost overnight and were quickly brought up to speed. Dr. Savage implemented a customizable COVID administration software to collect patient demographics, insurance, and vaccine administration information.
Patients were thereby able to access COVID-19 services via drive-through locations, waiting in their cars and submitting their insurance information using a kiosk tablet. Over a span of 8 months, Dr. Savage’s office served over 76,000 patients.

“COVID came upon us quickly and was quite overwhelming to the entire world, so when it came down to providing vaccinations, there wasn't a good process in place.”
