Product Description:

Hospitals often struggle with managing patient care in the emergency department (ED) due to overcrowding, long wait times, and staffing shortages. Providing specialized care is particularly challenging, as it demands access to specialized equipment, expertise, and diagnostic testing. Equum Medical addresses these issues through its comprehensive Tele-MultiSpecialty Services, which include Cardiology, Nephrology, Infectious Disease, Pulmonology, and more.

Equum Medical's multi-specialty physician team offers remote consultations with specialists, facilitating prompt diagnosis and treatment. Services such as Tele-Cardiology and Tele-Infectious Disease enable ED and inpatient staff to access expert guidance without the need for unnecessary transfers or delays in care. This remote specialist support ensures that patients receive timely, accurate diagnoses and treatments, improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden on local healthcare providers.

Our Tele-MultiSpecialty Services help standardize care protocols, which further enhances the quality of care and operational efficiency. By leveraging our network of board-certified specialists, hospitals can reduce wait times, avoid unnecessary transfers, and provide high-quality care regardless of their location. This approach is especially beneficial in rural or underserved areas where access to specialized medical expertise may be limited.

In addition to Cardiology and Infectious Disease, our services extend to Nephrology, Pulmonology, and other specialties, ensuring comprehensive support across the healthcare continuum. Equum Medical’s model ensures that emergency departments can effectively manage patient flow, enhance patient satisfaction, and optimize resource utilization, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and a more efficient healthcare system.

Product Description:
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.
About AristaMD:

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.
