Managing Your Virtual Health Care

"This has been a huge help for us in recruiting doctors and getting physicians to be willing to provide overnight service for patients."

"We can do the patient's assessment through tele-screening which saves a lot of time because the patients don't have to answer the same questions all over again when they get here to our location or to another facility."

"Telehealth has allowed us to provide prompt psychiatric evaluations for consumers in our Partial Hospital Program, as well as, our out-patient services. This helps to avoid repeat visits to the Emergency Dept or Crisis Centers. It also allows better accessibility and face-to-face contact with our providers to address medication side effects or changes in consumer mental status that would not be as comprehensive with contact by phone. Telehealth also provides us with better efficiency of our providers by avoiding unnecessary drive time between our nine clinical facilities."

"We have been able to easily accommodate urgent need for evaluation at any center on any given day. Telehealth also allows the possibility of an immediate adjustment in schedules so that an individual in need could be quickly served."
