Conduent Technology and Expertise Plays Critical Role in Public Health Response to Monkeypox
September 14 2022 - 8:45AM
Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-led
business process solutions company, has been deeply engaged in
disease surveillance for the past 20 years with the development of
the Maven® Disease Surveillance & Outbreak Management Platform.
Maven has enabled health professionals to quickly scale their
response to the public health emergency declared for monkeypox by
incorporating the recommendations and requirements of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into the platform.
In addition to regular updates to Maven’s contact tracing, case,
outbreak, and incident management capabilities, Conduent employs
seasoned epidemiologists to support public health organizations
(PHO) that have been overextended by the sustained response to
COVID-19.
Maven is used by public health officials, medical providers, and
epidemiologists to facilitate the core mission of public health —
prevention, mitigation, and protection — during an outbreak crisis.
The U.S. deemed monkeypox a public health emergency in early
August, giving PHOs access to additional resources to ramp up
education, testing, and contact tracing in their jurisdictions and
to improve coordination with local health and community-based
organizations. The declaration also requires more robust and
immediate data sharing with the CDC, which Maven enables.
“While public health teams remain stretched thin for resources
and time as the spread of infectious disease continues, the need to
respond rapidly to new and ongoing threats to their communities’
health remains vital. The Maven technology platform, combined with
the knowledge of Conduent’s experienced epidemiologists, supports
our clients in sustaining heightened vigilance to stop the spread
of highly contagious diseases such as monkeypox,” said Lydie Quebe,
General Manager of Government Health Solutions at Conduent. “Maven
is highly configurable to meet the needs of specific geographies
and populations and automates inter-agency information sharing to
achieve faster containment of infectious diseases.”
Monkeypox marks the seventh global health emergency declared by
the World Health Organization (WHO) over the last 15 years. In each
instance, Maven has helped PHO worldwide accomplish the work of
protecting public health while securely tracing and monitoring
patients infected with, or exposed to, dire communicable diseases.
Maven is used across 28 jurisdictions —in the U.S. and
internationally— to manage cases of more than 100 reportable
conditions. The technology platform has been, and remains, integral
in the management of such diseases as COVID-19, Ebola, Zika,
measles, tuberculosis, HIV, STDs, influenza, polio and
monkeypox.
