Specialty Clinic

Avel eCare delivers unparalleled specialty clinic access for tribal entities looking to provide quality care to their citizens. By leveraging an advanced two-way audio and video system, Avel eCare’s providers representing more than 15 distinct specialties can deliver care to patients in both clinic and at-home settings.

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.

AristaMD’s eConsult Platform empowers primary care providers with clinical work-up checklists and the ability to conduct eConsults with specialists to collaborate on care plans in a matter of hours.

AristaMD offers its clients unique tools for facilitating electronic consultations, often called eConsults and in-network specialist referrals that offer great value and rapid ROI, typically within 30 days of the rollout. eConsults enable higher-level care at a lower cost than the traditional delivery model. 

Health systems access AristaMD's platform to improve workforce efficiency while reducing costs. This interoperable platform can be used alone or integrated with any EHR without disrupting a hospital's clinical workflow. AristaMD offers a team of Registered Nurse Navigators (RNNs) to support the implementation and ongoing routing of eConsults. Using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, RNNs identify referral and follow-up requests that are appropriate for eConsult, route these requests to the appropriate specialist and return the recommendations to the patient's primary care provider for treatment.  

eConsult services are typically used by health systems to lower readmission rates and manage emergency department and discharge follow-up.
