Description

Product Description:
The emergency department (ED) has long been the entry point for acute care hospitals, where many patients arrive unpredictably, often in critical condition. Today, EDs face unprecedented surges of patients, many with substance abuse and behavioral health challenges. This influx leads to patients waiting on gurneys in hallways for hours or even days before an ICU room becomes available. Such inefficiencies demand multiple consultations and delay access to necessary intensivist care. Equum Medical's Tele-ED Services offer a solution to alleviate these burdens. Our physician teams take on the responsibility of managing the care of patients boarding in the ED. We ensure these patients are efficiently triaged and receive continuous management until they are either treated in the ICU, transitioned to a lower-intensity setting, or relocated to another care facility. In some cases, patients can even be sent home with appropriate prescriptions. This streamlined approach eliminates the need for multiple departmental consultations, enhancing workflow efficiency and reducing the stress on ED staff. By integrating Equum Medical's Tele-ED services, hospitals can improve patient outcomes, reduce ED overcrowding, and provide timely care. Our services help manage the critical patient population effectively, ensuring that the ED staff can focus on immediate, life-saving interventions without the added pressure of prolonged patient boarding. This innovative solution supports a more efficient healthcare delivery model, addressing the critical needs of both patients and healthcare providers.

Product Capabilities

eVisit offers multiple patient digital front door options to request and join a virtual visit. eVisit can integrate into existing patient portals, patients can login to eVisit with SSO, or patients can access a quick (customizable) intake form (from a QR code, button on an organization's website, etc.). The experience does not require an app download. eVisit also offers multiple clinician digital front door options to join a virtual visit with a patient. Clinicians can login to eVisit via SSO and schedule a virtual visit directly with their patients, or create an on-demand visit link. eVisit can also be embedded into an existing EHR so clinician's can join a visit with the patient using a SMART on FHIR launch. During the visit, users are also able to distribute a visit link to loved-ones.

Using eVisit, healthcare organizations can customize their patient intake questions as well as capture reportable patient responses and digital acknowledgements. eVisit's Virtual Triage Center (VTC) serves as the command center for healthcare organizations and queues all virtual visit requests. The VTC displays relevant data points to create situational awareness in managing the queue of patients. These data points include a patient’s total wait time, language spoken, current status, contact information, visit type, patient location, and more! The VTC data points can be customized, filtered, and sorted based on what data organizations would like to capture/show. This allows clinical users to be more efficient in prioritizing requests that may be coming from multiple locations and easily identify requests that still need to be assigned to a provider. Patients and Clinicians can receive email/text notifications and reminders about the visit. Before joining a visit, patients and clinicians can chat and upload documents/images. They will also be placed in a virtual lobby where they can check their mic, video, and network connection.

eVisit offers HIPAA-compliant video connection with the ability to switch to phone/audio or dial directly into the visit. During the virtual visit, users can invite other clinicians, loved-ones, or third-party interpreters to streamline communication and improve the patient experience. Both patients and clinicians can control if they would like to turn on or off their video and when on a mobile device, flip their camera view. For inpatient workflows, clinicians can control PTZ cameras during the visit. eVisit also supports file sharing, screen sharing, and group chat. After the visit has ended, patients and clinicians can submit their visit feedback.

eVisit can be embedded into an existing EHR so clinician's can leverage existing patient demographics and medical information to launch a virtual visit from the patient record/encounter. All documentation is captured back within the patient's EHR record/encounter. eVisit also supports photo integration and can push after visit summaries to the patient portal.

eVisit’s billing solution ensures a seamless process for patients, minimizing administrative burdens on organizations. Our system supports various payment methods, including debit, credit, HSA, and insurance, ensuring timely and accurate billing for telehealth services. eVisit offers real-time eligibility (RTE) during patient intake for better price transparency.

Our technical support operations consist of Technical Solution Analysts who assist patients, healthcare providers, and organizations overcome technology obstacles related to their virtual care offering. They are responsible to review, analyze, and monitor video connectivity and performance, diagnose network issues, and intervene in real-time through phone, chat, and email/ticket support to resolve technical issues.

eVisit partners with multiple staffing organizations to provide supplementary clinician coverage across a breadth of virtual care workflows. eVisit ensures that these staffing organizations stay up-to-date on product functionality.

eVisit offers descriptive analytics and provides advanced data reporting capabilities. This includes: 1. Individual visit reports that can provide indicators of technical barriers, telehealth demand, clinician adoption, and patient experience metrics. User and practice reports are an extension of the visit data. Having an understanding of where patients encounter wait times and reasons visits are canceled, allows your organization to improve staffing models and reduce patient drop off rate. 2. Platform activity reports to monitor provider logins/logouts, status changes, calls taken, and report access attempts. This gives visibility to technical barriers to programmatic success and allows target resolution when issues arise. 3. Patient Financial Information reports to track payment and visit charge information. 4. Terms and agreements reports to track patient consent. Additionally, eVisit offers diagnostic analytics by collaborating with organizations and leveraging third-party data to derive meaningful insights and projected economic value from implementing a virtual care program.
