Product Description:

Fabric’s Virtual Care Platform is a telemedicine platform that empowers providers and prioritizes patients. Our white-label virtual care solution increases access for patients and reduces 99% of provider work time. By leveraging asynchronous medical protocols, Fabric enables providers to deliver care in under two minutes, creating a better experience for both patients and providers. The Virtual Care Platform also enables providers to seamlessly transition into synchronous modes of care, including chat, video, and phone, while triaging and routing patients to in-person care when necessary.

Why Asynchronous Virtual Care?

In-person care and synchronous video-based telemedicine are valuable, but these modalities have efficiency limitations and health equity challenges. A concerted strategy shift that leverages asynchronous telemedicine is key. We’ve done the research and proven that asynchronous telemedicine can solve the biggest challenges facing healthcare:

  • Staffing shortages
  • Provider burnout
  • Delayed and avoided care
  • Consumerism
  • Health equity
  • Access to care
  • Patient leakage

90% Adherence to Clinical Guidelines: Fabric leverages patient responses and clinical guidelines to provide efficient, accurate clinical decision support. We have a Clinical Quality Advisory Council made up of 15 healthcare leaders to establish clinical quality best practices for virtual care.

89-Second Provider Work Time: On average, our adaptive patient interviews gather the information a provider needs to make a diagnosis and treatment recommendation in just 89 seconds, compared with 18 minutes for an in-person visit. This gives providers more time to focus their time on patients with more complex needs, while still offering high-quality care for common conditions.

Patients Love the Experience: Patients receive the dual benefits of convenience and efficiency. They can access the system via any web-enabled device and complete their online adaptive interview in a fraction of the time taken by an in-person visit. On average, patients using asynchronous care wait 6:29 minutes for a diagnosis, spend $25 per visit, and rate us at 64 for NPS. 

Drive Patient Acquisition and Revenue: 40% of Fabric’s virtual visits are net new patients for our customers. Those patients are 276% more likely to convert to a health system patient, and the average first-year revenue for each new patient is $2,900. With the lifetime value of a patient expected to exceed a million dollars, a solid digital strategy is a significant competitive advantage – meanwhile, a lack of one poses a threat to organizations.

In-Depth Reporting and Analytics: Our clients capture significant structured data through the online adaptive interview. Using our HIPAA-compliant Fabric Analytics reporting tool, health systems can follow trends related to conditions treated, visit timing, guideline adherence, and triaged patients.

Product Capabilities

The Fabric Virtual Care Suite is EHR agnostic and supports four virtual care modalities, including asynchronous intelligent adaptive interviews, chat, phone, and video visits. Fabric also offers integrated Spanish translation.

Patients choose between asynchronous intelligent adaptive interviews, chat, phone, and video visits. Depending on the patient's selection and reason for visit, they may share photos with the provider to aid in diagnosis. On average, patients who choose asynchronous care receive a diagnosis and treatment plan in less than seven minutes.

The Fabric care enablement system's asynchronous intelligent adaptive interviews enable providers to diagnose patients in 89 seconds. Zipnosis also offers seamless step-ups to video and in-person care as needed.

Fabric reduces 99% of administrative work using our clinical intelligence and artificial intelligence, enabling providers to treat low acuity patients in 89 seconds—10 times faster than in-person visits.

Fabric supports up-front pricing and sends prescriptions to the patients' preferred pharmacy.

Fabric's product support team is available for patients from 6AM-10PM CST Monday-Friday, and 8AM-8PM CST Saturday, Sunday and Holidays. Fabric's technical support team for admins and providers is available from 8AM-5PM CST Monday-Friday and is oncall after-hours for urgent issues. The Fabric Help Center is accessed via SSO from Zipnosis Admin and Provider portals.

Fabric supports unloading and offloading patient demand based on each organization’s unique goals. Fabric enables organizations to choose how they utilize the nationwide network’s 24/7/365 resources: • Outsource low-acuity visits • Leverage internal capacity across your organization to meet internal and external patient demand • Divert to network providers during high demand or after-hours

Fabric collects comprehensive data on provider utilization, average visit times, most commonly treated conditions, escalations, visit volume, and more.

Use Cases

Description:

Fabric has devoted more than 15 years towards building the industry-leading enterprise virtual care platform. While most health systems begin their virtual care strategy with urgent care, Fabric has expanded its clinical use cases to meet primary care, behavioral health, occupational medicine, post-operative and other virtual care needs.

Pediatric use cases:

Fabric offers over 50 protocols for pediatric care, and Fabric's Clinical Quality Advisory Council has a specific subcommittee for reviewing, maintaining, and improving our pediatric protocol suite. 

Users:

The platform was designed with the patient and provider user and their experience in mind focused on ease of use, value, utility, safety, and reliability. Early usability research was applied to optimize the use experience which has led to the high patient NPS of 64.

Description:

We white-labeled and fully-configured a COVID-19 screener to the care access points (hospitals, telemedicine providers, nurse hotlines, and at-home resources of a 17-hospital system (reach out to learn specifics). A COVID-alert message on the home page routes users to the option to screen their symptoms for risk of infection and presentation of system-wide care options. The entire process of whitelabeling, configuring, implementing, testing, and going live was complete in 5 business days.

Pediatric use cases:

Clearstep's virtual triage platform is able to route >99% of adult and pediatric chief complaints towards their evidence-based next step.

Users:

Once live, an e-mail campaign was sent out to 650,000 residents in the areas surrounding the system to inform them that they could screen their symptoms. The email achieved the highest engagement rates of any mailer ever (3x higher email open rate and click-through rates). The COVID screener was used 30,000 times in the first three days.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Fabric's Virtual Care Suite is powered by Fabric's Clinical Intelligence Engine, Loom. Loom is a clinical expert system and conversational ai that captures patient data across channels and automates workflows for clinical and administrative staff. Using automated clinical symptom gathering, Loom generates clinical SOAP notes, treatment plans, visit summaries and more. When applied across 2,000+ unique diagnoses, Loom automates 99% of administrative burden for staff and makes clinicians 2-10x faster at providing care. Additionally, Loom offers clinical decision support to providers to uphold the highest levels of care quality. 

Additionally, Fabric's team of expert clinicians builds and maintains our clinical expert system and content in coordination with our Clinical Quality Advisory Council, a team of 14 practicing clinical executives from around the country. Council members perform reviews of Fabric's evidence-based clinical protocols. Additionally, the council supports ongoing quality assurance efforts and helps establish clinical quality best practices for virtual care. The council also guides in-depth studies around the safety, effectiveness, and value of virtual care.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

We are asynchronous care experts.

Fabric offers an industry-leading enterprise virtual care solution with four modes of care. Our asynchronous, phone, video, and chat options offer seamless integration between modes within the context of a visit meaning that as communication needs change, your patients and providers never lose connection.

With over 15 years of proven experience in asynchronous care, we are the market leader for online adaptive interviews. While newer entrants offer asynchronous modes of care, our experience and constant improvement to our clinical guidelines offer a higher standard of care at over 90% adherence.

We’ve also instituted a Clinical Quality Advisory Council, a collection of 14 healthcare leaders committed to providing clinical and strategic guidance to the virtual care industry. Council members perform reviews of Fabric's evidence-based clinical protocols. Additionally, the council supports ongoing quality assurance efforts and helps establish clinical quality best practices for virtual care. The council also guides in-depth studies around the safety, effectiveness, and value of virtual care.

We're expanding health equity.
We are on a mission to address healthcare’s biggest challenges. One of those is expanding access for rural, low-income, and non-English-speaking populations. Virtual care is the path to expanding access, but serving these groups requires modalities that work within market limitations. For example, we know that rural populations often struggle with access in terms of physical distance from care facilities as well as limited bandwidth and cell signal. The internet divide significantly affects rural and low-income populations, making them more likely to have metered internet plans or limited broadband access.

Our async-first technology excels in these circumstances because it requires lower bandwidth and can help address patient concerns before connecting them with a provider via another modality. This allows patients to avoid an unnecessarily expensive and time-consuming drive to a clinic or a data-consuming video visit.


Language is another significant barrier to health equity. Many health systems lack the staff to support non-English-speaking patients, causing visits to run longer and increasing the risk of delayed and avoided care. We are excited to announce that the Fabric asynchronous platform is now available in Spanish to support the largest non-English-speaking population in the U.S. Our dynamic content management system:

  • Translates all patient-facing text into Spanish
  • Translates patient inputs back into English for providers
  • Presents care plans and patient education to the patient in Spanish
Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
Clearstep marries disparate data sets that exist in various locations within the system. We take the responsibility to marry clinical content, provider directories, insurance & eligibility information, claims data, and scheduling systems so that your system's teams do not have to. Clearstep is ready-made and fully-supported by our development team.platform that is customizable to your health system's specific resources. Clearstep's business solution package also offers patient targeting to ensure that patients searching specific symptoms within a health system's geography are routed into that system via a seamless, effortless, already-built user experience.
Differentiators vs Competitors:
Clearstep is the only solution providing an end-to-end user experience that guides patients through all aspects of booking care. Our symptom checker is powered by the most accurate triage, diagnostic, and home care content available and is derived off content that is already used in 95% of nurse call centers in the country. Clearstep uniquely offers a natural language processing engine that can handle free-text descriptions of an individual's chief complaint. In addition to featuring the most accurate content available, Clearstep's digital dialog asks the least number of questions as compared to competitor platforms and provides a single next-best step. Competitors often provide multiple possible causes and next steps that reduce clarity for the end-user's next step.
