Stay connected no matter what, through virtual care

MEDITECH’s Virtual Care solution enables patients to stay connected to their care providers (and your organization) via convenient video visits, no matter the circumstances. And with Virtual On Demand Care, healthcare organizations can extend their virtual care offering by providing convenient urgent care appointments to both new and existing patients.

Why integration matters

Expanse Virtual Care fills the need for telehealth visits by offering a suite of tools that can be used across the continuum. Patients can schedule their visits, verify demographics, pay any necessary fees, respond to pre-visit questionnaires, and launch the visits, all from their patient portal or MHealth app.

Embedded in your workflow

Virtual Care is integrated into existing ambulatory workflows, allowing providers to conduct scheduled virtual visits while interacting with the patient’s chart.

Connect outside the practice setting

Hospital-based specialists can also conduct virtual visits outside of MEDITECH’s Ambulatory solution, and join from their schedule when it’s time for the visit.

Anytime, anywhere access to care with Virtual On Demand Care

With the ongoing demands of everyday life — balancing work, caring for family, and taking care of themselves — people with urgent medical needs often don’t have the time to wait for an appointment to see their PCP. With Virtual On Demand Care, they don’t have to. And you can build on the momentum of patients embracing telemedicine, improve the consumer experience, and give your patients new care options that will grow your business and build loyalty.

No Travel

Patients receive immediate care without having to spend time (and money) visiting an ED or retail urgent care facility.

Full Patient Story

Functionality is embedded throughout Expanse and across multiple care settings. Care teams have full access to the patient’s entire care journey, enabling better diagnosis and treatment.

Easy Consumer Access

By offering a convenient alternative to ED or urgent care, organizations can attract consumers seeking care and welcome them as patients.

Three ways Virtual Care keeps you connected

Virtual Care extends and reinforces the relationship between patients, their providers, and their healthcare organization. Here are the benefits you’ll see:

For the care team…

Maintain contact with patients between in-person visits, driving continuity of care
Deliver care using their current Expanse workflow —no new tools to learn or systems to maintain

For the patient...

Patients can meet with their desired clinician at the most convenient time and location
New patients can register themselves with a healthcare organization for access to virtual care
Use the same virtual and mobile solutions they use every day
Avoid risk of delaying or forgoing necessary care for chronic conditions

For the healthcare organization...

Maintain a healthy revenue stream by offering patients new ways to receive care virtually
Expand your reach to new consumers seeking a medical home with streamlined enrollment and self-scheduling
Reduce appointment no-show rates

“We recently fast-tracked the Virtual Visit functionality. In literally a matter of days, I was doing Virtual Visits on a cardiac transplant patient and a kidney transplant patient recovering from prostate cancer surgery. We also had great support and guidance from Citizens Memorial in Bolivar, Missouri.”

Doug Kanis, DO

“Now we have integrated ambulatory video visits up in Expanse. The EMR does instantaneous registration, spawns the visit documentation, and establishes the bidirectional video link. The remarkable thing is, it only took a week to set up.”

A frictionless appointment experience

Empowering patients to take charge of their health requires two key elements: clear, open communication with their providers and easy access to their medical records. With MyHealth, available in the cloud and on the MHealth app, your patients can achieve both—and so much more.

Patients

Fill out questionnaires; update medication, allergy and insurance information; and complete patient, family, social history prior to the visit — whether it’s virtual or in-person.
Know the expected copay before seeing your provider.

Healthcare Organization

Care teams can spend more time with the patient instead of chasing down background information.
Office staff can minimize the cumbersome task of scanning traditional paper forms, and eliminate transcription errors.

Connect the dots through remote patient monitoring

Patient visits — both in-office and virtual — are just part of the patient care journey. Fortunately, remote patient monitoring can fill the gaps in between. By encouraging their patients to upload data from personal health devices and medical device kits into MEDITECH’s MyHealth, care teams can better manage their patient populations, especially those with chronic or pre-existing conditions.
