Allscripts has chosen Vidyo and its Vidyo.io platform for virtual consultations in its FollowMyHealth® patient portal.

On-demand video visits can be launched from a patient portal workflow. Vidyo can integrate into electronic health records workflow to provide high-quality remote consultations, the company said.

“Allscripts strives to continually provide a fully engaged patient platform, giving patients and their families the ability to stay connected to their physicians, allowing them to be active contributors to their care,” said Kim South, general manager, Allscripts. “Vidyo’s integrated video collaboration platform embedded into the Allscripts FollowMyHealth workflow is the ideal solution for patients and physicians to conveniently connect face-to-face over the web or our mobile app.”

Vidyo said it is being used by 40 out of 100 top healthcare systems in the United States, and it has added 50 care providers in the last fiscal year.
