WHY ACCESS PHYSICIANS
OVER 1.3 MILLION High Acuity Patients Served
Our elite physicians leverage proprietary clinical programs to deliver care to the highest acuity of patients, including cardiac arrest (code blue), respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, septic shock, vasopressors, advanced heart failure, and cardiogenic shock. Even more unique, outcomes in these high acuity situations are improved compared to traditional in-person coverage.
600+ Peer-Referenced Physicians, Nationwide
The vast majority of our physicians have trained at the top tier academic programs in the country. We believe the trend of commoditizing the physician doesn’t lead to quality outcomes. Quality physicians drive quality outcomes. As a result, we are a peer-reference only multispecialty group. To maintain our elite level of care, only U.S. board-certified and board-eligible physicians referred by an existing member are eligible to join. And yes, we have a waiting list.
1:1 Relationships Shorten Time to Clinical Encounter
Through telemedicine, we seek to transform the traditional model of accessing physicians. Yet, we know adoption and success is driven by a traditional nursing and patient experience. We group our specialists in dedicated pods, so they get to know your staff on a first name basis. Nurses feel more comfortable engaging us, while working at the top of their license, and the time to bedside shrinks to minutes, even seconds.
Working in Your EMR
Documentation and order entry are done in your EMR. This avoids the hassle of integration and having data across systems, and allows our physicians to work collaboratively alongside your clinicians.
Custom Clinical Programs for Each Specialty
Scalable, clinical programs - from ICU care and cardiac arrest management to hospitalist cross coverage and routine consults - are designed to complement your existing physician workforce to deliver comprehensive care.
Cost-effective Technology with 24/7 Support
HIPAA-compliant telemedicine carts and stations - built by physicians, for clinicians - optimize the patient encounter. Meanwhile technical support representatives with a clinical sense of urgency understand the importance of rapid resolution for physicians caring for the highest acuity cases.
