As a healthcare technology consultant specializing in rural healthcare and long-term care facilities, I've evaluated countless telehealth solutions over my 20+ years in the industry. Today, I want to share my thoughts on a platform that genuinely addresses the unique challenges of skilled nursing facilities and rural hospitals.
iDocsWeb/DoctorsAnytime isn't just another telehealth platform—it's purpose-built for long-term care environments where flexibility, integration, and ease of use are non-negotiable. ????????
Three aspects particularly stand out to me:
1. Seamless Clinical Workflow Integration ????
What impressed me most is how iDocsWeb eliminates the typical friction points in telehealth adoption. The EMR integration allows providers to access patient information during consultations without toggling between systems. Progress notes automatically upload to the facility's EMR—reducing documentation time and preventing information silos.
2. Practical Real-World Design ????
The platform clearly reflects an understanding of LTC realities:
3. DoctorsAnytime: Your Solution to Provider Shortages ????
For facilities struggling with staffing challenges, DoctorsAnytime offers an exceptional solution. With over 250+ facility implementations and 25,790+ patients treated in 2023 alone, their network of dedicated providers delivers quality care exactly when you need it.
What sets DoctorsAnytime apart:
As one COO testified: "The providers from Doctors Anytime exceeded all expectations. The system is very user friendly and we were up and running in no time."
4. Financial Sustainability ????
Their integrated billing solution addresses a critical pain point. By retrieving insurance information from the facility EMR and including it on every SOAP note, they've simplified the path to reimbursement. Converting traditional phone calls to billable encounters creates a sustainable telehealth program.
The behavioral health capabilities deserve special mention—the specialty-specific templates for initial diagnostics, progress notes, and discharge forms make this a truly turnkey solution for an underserved aspect of long-term care. ????
For my colleagues in rural facilities or SNFs struggling with specialist access or after-hours coverage, iDocsWeb with DoctorsAnytime represents a practical solution that respects your existing clinical relationships while expanding care options—at a fraction of the cost of in-person coverage. ????
