ACO REACH: Enable Healthcare Access Through Telemedicine

The Innovation of Managing Remote Healthcare Delivery through Telemedicine

Patients who receive treatment under the ACO REACH model, typically reap greater benefits than those of the standard Medicare system. The large-scale implementation of telehealth is a major strength of ACO REACH. This allows patients to receive care from their providers without the need to drop by a clinic or office. This can be a huge benefit for patients who live in rural areas or who have difficulty getting to visit providers. In addition, ACO REACH models often allow for more coordination between different providers, which can lead to a better overall care for the patient.

ACO REACH Program for Telemedicine Advances Healthcare Access

Telemedicine's rising popularity can be attributed to its capacity to provide convenient, low-cost healthcare to people in the privacy of their own homes. As it allows patients to receive care from their providers without having to go from one place to another, it is especially useful for those who are unable to travel due to their conditions. When it comes to diagnosing, treating, and monitoring chronic diseases, telemedicine is at its most practical. The ACO REACH program for telemedicine is a major step forward in improving healthcare access for all. The ultimate goal of the program is to increase patient access to care, especially for patients in rural areas. 

Provide Robust Telemedicine Experience to Patients

Patients who require regular medical services are often forced to make a trip to the doctor’s office every time they need to see a specialist. To support long-distance clinical healthcare, patient education, and health care management, it is integral for organizations to have the right telecommunications technology in place to  advance healthcare access. As the telehealth industry evolves, we’re seeing a rise in the number of remote care platforms that are enabling patients to reach doctors and care teams easily.

In order to make sure that everyone is on the same page, there needs to be a way to streamline the process and make it easy to access from anywhere. MedVision’s QuickCap (QC7) enables healthcare providers to communicate with their patients in real time, whenever they need to with the following comprehensive features:

• Remotely monitor the health populations and check up on them via video call.
• Coordinate care and make more informed decisions even if patients are geographically far from healthcare facilities.
• Pull up healthcare records whenever and wherever they are with an automated interactive voice response system
• Connect with their patients and across care teams with one unified communication service 

Provide long-distance diagnosis or consultation with QuickCap’s communication capabilities for the management of chronic diseases in rural areas, small towns, and remote areas with limited access to healthcare services. 

Designed to work at scale, across the entire healthcare continuum.
