Remote, Billable, Consultations

Non-Proprietary, HIPAA Compliant Video Solutions – Powered by Polycom CLOUD AXIS

The truth is, video solutions are quickly becoming a commodity for medical establishments to operate with for numerous beneficial reasons. Our core focus emphasizes consolidating and streamlining the ‘Doctor/Patient’ utilization of video, voice, and internet with one simple monthly rate. As video can often times be an expensive investment, we conveniently offer the service without the high costs of equipment ownership, maintenance, and management.

Words or an email only delivers about 7% of intended communication. If you use the phone you add another 38 % but body language adds 55% and that is why video services are so critical in internal and external communications. YipTel is a proven leader in the market when it comes specifically to delivery of video technologies. We guarantee an increase of productivity while still reducing costs and improving communications.

Uses and Applications

Home Health

Oftentimes, the physician and the care provider’s staff will want to augment their usual in-the-home visits with some regular “virtual visits” with the patient to more frequently monitor health status. These patients (and their families) feel more secure knowing they have the ability to press a single button on a video phone to set up a call with the patient’s care provider.

• Physician uses his existing office internet service for connectivity.
• Patient is an advanced TeleHealth standard user with hardware. with a video phone in his home.
• Patient uses their home DSL/Cable service for connectivity.

Mental Health

In this situation the healthcare provider will schedule regular “virtual visits” with some of his patients. Patient’s family has requested to be included in these virtual visits. Similar to other scenarios, remote mental health consultations could take place between hospitals, clinics, homes and much more.
