Whether in an emergency, inpatient, or post-acute setting, we help you build, expand, and optimize your telemedicine program with unparalleled access to quality care.
The Challenge for Hospitals
To provide the highest quality patient care while keeping costs in check, healthcare organizations have to balance multiple challenges:
- Facing a shortage of specialists to care for a growing and aging population.
- Meeting quality of care guidelines while making care more accessible at a lower cost.
- Operating seamlessly amidst massive shifts in payment and reimbursement models.
- Navigating the myriad and ever-changing federal data privacy guidelines.
Telemedicine Can Help
Coverage
Your hospital can fill care gaps and gain efficiencies by moving to on-demand care. Whether you need 24-7, overnight, or weekend specialist coverage, telemedicine is how you can provide the care your community needs, when they need it most.
Fractionalization
In hospitals and health systems today, coverage comes from doctors providing care to patients on day-long shifts. But fractionalization turns that model upside down. What if you could instead match your supply of care to the current demand with on-call, off-site doctors with telemedicine? Instead of staffing based on an estimate of care needs, you can build automatically-scaling coverage into your day, your week, or your most unpredictable shifts.
Access
Telemedicine enables patients and providers increased access to specialty physicians. Through telemedicine programs, your hospitals can access the specialists that guide better time-sensitive care, in many cases reducing transfer rates and improve case-mix indexes dramatically.
