Implementing an Ocular Telehealth Program for any type of Medical Practice
Chuck Scott, the CEO at 20/20NOW and a longtime member of ATA, explains, “This Ocular Telehealth Program is guided by best practices set by organizations like ATA, combined with our years of telehealth implementation success. Our goal is to enable more practices with Specialty Care for an underserved patient base, like DR screening.” 20/20NOW was a key contributor to development of the ATA Ocular Telehealth Special Interest Group (Ocular SIG) two-part statement that covered elements needed to provide high quality remote eye exams, and the need for telehealth as a tool for eye care delivery.
Over three million eye exams have been performed using 20/20NOW’s proprietary software platform. On staff doctors are responsible for driving test results assessment and live video clinical review with each patient. In a recent interview, 20/20NOW detailed how their Tele-Optometry Platform expands provider reach without compromising quality of care.
Scott emphasizes, “If one of your growth objectives is to reach and serve more patients with eye disease, we have a proven process to implement a new Ocular Telehealth Program into your existing infrastructure. We can export completed medical records to your existing EHR or practice management solutions. Using state-of-the-art technology from Visionix, and 20/20NOW’s telehealth technology and professional services platform we can enable any type of medical practice—from rural hospital systems to remote clinics—the ability to provide exams.”
