About Avera eCare:
Avera eCARE® is a national leader in virtual health care with a proven 25-year record in visionary thinking. We’re using innovation to find new ways to connect our specialty care providers to health systems — both large and small.
Product Description:

Fabric’s Virtual Care Suite 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 Suite 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.

About Fabric Health:

Fabric is a health tech company that powers healthcare providers to move faster, work smarter, and deliver better care through its care enablement system. The system offers three solutions: In-Person Care Suite, Virtual Care Suite, and Engagement Suite. 

Leveraging conversational AI and intelligent adaptive interviews, Fabric unifies virtual and in-person care across intake, triage, routing, and treatment while automating workflows for staff. Built by a team of physicians and clinical informaticists, Fabric protocols uphold excellence in care quality while offering omnichannel access for patients. The results enable clinicians to work 2-10 times faster (dependent on setting), decrease call center volume by 15%, and increase utilization of unfilled visit blocks. 

Some of Fabric’s customers include Luminis Health, OSF HealthCare, MUSC Health, and Intermountain. Fabric is backed by Thrive Capital, GV (Google Ventures), Salesforce Ventures, Vast Ventures, BoxGroup, and Atento Capital.

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:

Antimicrobial Stewardship

Avel eCare Pharmacy also offers providers the support they need to create, implement and maintain an antimicrobial stewardship plan. When customers take advantage of our Antimicrobial Stewardship services they’ll have the expert oversight needed to:

  • Improve the use of antimicrobial medications
  • Enhance patient outcomes
  • Reduce resistance to antibiotics

Reduce Antimicrobial Resistance

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, The Joint Commission and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all health care settings use antimicrobials judiciously to reduce the likelihood of antimicrobial resistance.

Look to our expert pharmacists to:

  • Verify that antimicrobials prescribed for common infections (urinary tract infection, pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infection, clostridium difficile, methacillin-resistant staph aureus, etc.) comply with standards, clinical guidelines and protocols in your institution
  • Follow culture results to ensure the organism is covered by the antimicrobial regimen and to suggest a more narrow-spectrum treatment, if appropriate
  • Ensure appropriate dosing of agents based upon renal and hepatic function
  • Provide patient-specific pharmacokinetic dosing, such as aminoglycosides or vancomycin

If a facility does not have an on-site pharmacist, Avel eCare Pharmacy can also complete an antibiotic review within 48 hours to achieve compliance with the antibiotic time out.

Consultative

Enhance your Avel eCare Pharmacy experience with advanced two-way video technology. When you take advantage of our live audiovisual and still image services, you can support pharmacy services with:

  • Patient discharge consultations
  • Remote supervision of nurse sterile medication preparation
  • Remote supervision of nurse automated dispensing cabinet refills
  • Verification of medications removed from pharmacy after-hours
  • Identification of patient medications brought from home
  • Video consultations between Avel eCare Pharmacy staff and your health care professionals

Support medication safety and pharmacy services at your facility through Avel eCare Pharmacy’s remote review and verification of outpatient orders. Our Outpatient Services include:

  • Review and verification of medication orders for your hospital outpatients such as dialysis, infusion therapy, chemotherapy, outpatient antibiotic therapy, etc.
  • Remote video supervision of nurse sterile medication preparation
  • Chemotherapy orders that are checked by two independent pharmacists such as one on-site and one Avel eCare Pharmacy or two independent Avel eCare Pharmacy checks
  • Clinical monitoring of outpatient therapies during a course of therapy

Medication Review

Avel’s Medication Review services ensure that customers meet federal regulations with 24/7 pharmacist oversight of any newly ordered medicine before it’s administered. Facilities with Avel eCare Pharmacy support can increase patient safety and regulatory compliance through the prospective review of medication orders, including:

  • Allergy history
  • Dosage recommendations
  • Drug compatibility
  • Duplication of therapy
  • Lab review
  • Patient demographic information
  • Potential interactions
  • Substitution recommendations

These reviews are available for inpatient, outpatient, emergency room, and other departments as needed with response times averaging 20 minutes or less.

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
