You and Blue Develops National Website to Identify Medical Staffing Opportunities to Assist During COVID-19 Pandemic

SANTA ROSA, Calif., April 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- You and Blue announces Medical Staff Now (https://medicalstaffnow.org/)  a new national website created to help medical professionals register to assist states in need of their professional services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a few days twenty-two states have already signed on to and are using the website as a platform to find the medical professionals they need to support their state during COVID-19.

"We wanted to do something to support our state, our country and our world for that matter," said Brant Claussen CEO and Founder of You and Blue. "We are a nonprofit and created this site, in collaboration with health professionals, as a free service for all to use. In short, it allows medical professionals to answer the call for help that ours and other states have put out during this COVID-19 crisis.  Not all states have a way to receive these volunteers or willing professionals online.  For others, it is often challenging to register to help."

Medical Staff Now works in two ways. States can either use the Medical Staff Now form which asks a medical professional a number of "screening questions" and then the information is passed on to the state agency and the person can be further vetted and contacted. Alternatively, a state can use its own registration form that links to its department of health or other agency.

Medical Staff Now is simple to use yet global in scope. It doesn't require a complicated registration process, will work with future crises, and can handle millions of users.
