How does VEC work?
A Virtual Emergency Care program operates similarly to a traditional emergency department. Patients are triaged by a nurse or clinician in-person and may then be connected to a virtual emergency medicine physician. The remote emergency physician will collaborate with the on-site nurse and other clinicians who will use remote technology that simulates the in-person patient-doctor experience. Together, they will determine a diagnosis and necessary treatments and follow-up with local experts if further treatment is required. Each VEC solution is designed in collaboration with on-site teams to create a customized workflow that easily integrates with existing processes.
The patient arrives at the emergency department and is triaged by an on-site clinician.
The onsite clinician registers the patient in the Solo™ virtual care platform.
The remote emergency physician begins the care visit via a device.
The remote emergency physician documents the care visit and collaborates with the on-site team for any necessary tests or treatments.
The on-site clinician adds the Solo visit notes to the patient’s medical chart.
Driven by reliable, industry-leading technology
Our devices use private remote technology to connect virtual and on-site clinicians to deliver the highest quality provider-patient experience
