CloudVisit Telemedicine Introduces Online Patient Care Tools
COLD SPRING, N.Y. — CloudVisit Telemedicine, a provider of telemedicine and telepsychiatry based in Cold Spring, N.Y., has introduced a new tool for efficient and cost-effective online patient care.
The web-based CloudVisit Connect allows doctors and mental health professionals to easily connect face-to-face with patients online. The HIPAA-compliant online video appointments are suitable for private practices and larger health care institutions to begin scheduling, conducting and invoicing secure telemedicine sessions with just a computer, webcam and broadband Internet access.
“Telemedicine is touted as the ultimate in health care accessibility,” said Daniel Gilbert, president and CEO of CloudVisit Telemedicine, in a statement. “Ironically, the majority of solutions are not financially accessible to smaller practices, most of whom have very tight budgets. We’re changing that with CloudVisit Connect.”
The product is convenient for both doctor and patient. Doctors benefit from the low-cost management tool while patients are able to receive more streamlined medical attention. The telemedicine platform is especially useful for patients that are unable to leave their homes, according to the company. Busy families as well as working adults can easily connect with their physicians from the convenience of their home or office.
“CloudVisit Connect quickly becomes an integral part of patient care and practice revenue,” Gilbert said. “We give providers the autonomy to manage appointments, patients and pricing.”
The tool offers an online appointment calendar for patients to view available dates and times. Physicians receive an appointment request via email that allows them to confirm or deny the request. Online video sessions are unlimited and secure in order for physicians to connect with their patients as often as desired. The tool also offers automatic patient credit card billing based upon the individual physician fees. Physicians have the opportunity to define the length and price of each session.
“The more technologically advanced our nation becomes, the more appreciation we seem to have for the comforts of home,” Gilbert said. “It’s hard to beat one-on-one therapy from the comfort of your favorite chair or a 7 pm pediatric check-in for a sore throat. CloudVisit is a win for providers and patients.”
CloudVisit Telemedicine has also produced CloudVisit Private Practice, which includes expanded features for multi-provider practices, as well as CloudVisit Institution.
