Ortho, Neuro, and Trauma Surgical Expertise at Your Fingertips
In our experience, about 90% of telemedicine consultation requests do not require transfer or immediate intervention, but rather the initial plan of care can be initiated locally.
With this reduction in transfers, patient care and satisfaction are enhanced, and hospitals typically recapture the annual cost of the program within the first three months of service.
All consults are delivered through real-time video, documentation into your EMR, and direct collaboration with your clinical staff.
