Foundation offers COVID-19 testing and support to more than 2.1 million students as part of campus health services
NEW YORK—November 11, 2021—CLEARED4, the nation’s largest and most trusted HIPAA-compliant health verification platform, has partnered with the Foundation for California Community Colleges to provide fast solutions for campus reopenings, including daily health screening, COVID-19 test scheduling, result tracking, vaccine tracking and campus access management for 116 California community colleges and their more than 2.1 million students.
CLEARED4 is a turnkey platform—used either as a frictionless, standalone experience or as a seamless integrated product in the app of any client—that enables a user’s COVID-19 health status to be connected to any form of access control in real-time such as venue apps or specific employer tools. The flexible solution enables partners to pick any combination of COVID-19 symptom checking, test results and vaccination data to trigger access to an entire location such as a venue or a classroom or a specific zone within that location, using any form of unique identifier, including custom QR codes, government IDs, membership cards, building access cards, wearables and facial recognition.
“A platform for COVID-19 symptom management and tracking is critical to help protect the safety of campus populations and reduce the spread of the virus,” said Dr. Soumi Eachempati, CEO and co-founder of CLEARED4. “CLEARED4 is proud to keep campuses open and operating.”
"Riverside Community College District (RCCD) had a huge challenge to meet the vaccination tracking and testing standards that were required to safely reopen our campuses. Partnering with CLEARED4 enabled us to quickly get our 40,000+ students and staff to confirm their
vaccination status or enter into our weekly COVID-19 testing with our partner Biocept,” said Christopher Blackmore, associate vice chancellor, RCCD. “In just a few weeks, over 50% of our students have now confirmed their vaccination status via CLEARED4. We continue to work together to optimize the solution to meet our evolving needs."
This partnership and colleges’ access to symptom management, test result and vaccine verification is made possible through the Foundation’s CollegeBuys program, the systemwide procurement vehicle which leverages the purchasing power of the 116 colleges to offer a number of services and products at up to 85% discount, ensuring colleges can meet the educational needs of students.
