Improve Access to Cardiology Care with Telemedicine
Cardiology coverage in emergent cases as well as inpatient cardiology consultations for admitted patients.
Overview of teleCardiology Services and Solutions

teleCardiology
Cardiovascular diseases are the number 1 cause of death globally and specifically, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women and people of most racial and ethnic groups throughout the United States. With this in mind, SOC Telemed offers a solution that increases access to expert cardiology care when and where it’s needed.
Generally, in smaller hospitals, cardiac issues can often be the primary reason for transfer. Many of these patients only need a consultation to determine whether they can be retained and treated close to home, and avoid the disruption of transfer to a tertiary hospital. Additionally, community hospitals may also be in need of a solution for patients who do not require invasive treatment and procedures and can benefit from an easy teleCardiology consultation. Our service, which operates 24/7, provides board certified expert cardiologists who can support your hospitalists and internists, as well as your Emergency Department physicians in the management of patients experiencing varying cardiac issues, such as arrhythmia, heart failure and chest pain.
In addition to 24/7 availability, our service also allows for managing gaps in coverage. The goal is to provide access and collaboration with your physicians, reduce transfers, improve outcomes all while providing increased patient volume, retention and revenue.

Interpretive Studies
Our expert board certified cardiologists can provide interpretations of varying cardiac studies, which may include echocardiograms, stress echocardiograms, ultrasounds, electrocardiograms and CTA.
Cardiology Telemedicine Platform
For organizations who have sufficient cardiology coverage, but want a virtual care option, our telemedicine platform, Telemed IQ, is available, with or without our providers. Our flexible, scalable, and proven enterprise telemedicine platform will help you build your own telemedicine program rapidly and sustainably.

Interactive Touchscreen Telemedicine Cart
Telemedicine is so much more than a cart. We know what really matters is the quality of the interaction between clinician and patient. But, we also believe that technology can enhance that interaction. Our touch-screen telemedicine cart is just one part of the expertise and technology that makes SOC Telemed the leading acute care telemedicine company.
