Revolutionizing Patient Care Delivery...
Fully utilizing advances in technology and medicine, Call Doctor physicians can effectively diagnose and treat most medical problems in the comfort of the patient's home. Capabilities cover a wide range of treatments from setting broken bones to caring for chronic conditions, from flu symptoms to food poisoning. Equally important, Call Doctor improves quality of life for our patients, while reducing overall costs for the healthcare industry.
The service begins with a call to the national 1-800-CALL DOC triage and dispatching number. Using special protocols, a trained triage operator elicits information from the caller and determines the urgency of the medical problem. Upon classification of urgency, the operator advises the caller of the necessary medical intervention. When an emergency situation exists, the caller is instructed to hang up and call 911. If the patient's situation is classified urgent or non-urgent, the caller will be scheduled for a Call Doctor visit at home.
The physician is dispatched to the patient's home, equipped with every diagnostic tool necessary to assess the patient's symptoms, as well as a full supply of standard emergency-care drugs to treat them. If the patient requires X-rays, a Certified Radiation Technologist, will be dispatched to take and develop the X-ray film.
Using portable lab and EKG instruments, the physician can make any emergency decision and treatment available at the time of the housecall. All licensures and permits are currently approved by Medicare and state offices.
Crucial to the successful operation of our mobile program is a fully integrated customized software program which allows the physician central access to and remote charting of past medical records.
