The nation’s leading provider of behavioral telehealth services for skilled nursing, post-acute and long-term care facilities is increasing access to behavioral telehealth services through its first-of-a-kind online platform.
MediTelecare’s new MediTelecareGo! gives partner facilities easier access to psychiatrists, psychologists and nurse practitioners through an online application, televideo workstations on wheels, and a rich library of tech resources.
MediTelecare onboarded more than 20 skilled nursing centers with over 1,200 residents in the platform’s first 30 days.
Through a secure online portal, MediTelecareGo! users can use interface with:
- A digital medical referral process for insurance and payer verification
- A virtual scheduler to manage sessions for residents
- One-click links to synchronous televideo sessions between residents and clinicians
- A secure clinical “cloud” repository with interoperable capability to medical professionals
- Real-time support or live chat with a psych program manager
“This technology suite is a game-changer for residents who desperately need behavioral health support while in skilled care nursing centers,” said MediTelecare CEO and founder Ed Mercadante. “MediTelecareGo! improves access to care, potentially reducing re-hospitalizations and costs while making it easy for facilities and staff to incorporate this into their daily workflow.”
