Description of Services:
SALUS’ innovation has led to the creation of a simple and easy-to-deploy model for bringing telemedicine to any market or location and putting it into practice quickly, efficiently and in a cost effective way. Salus’s experience in implementing telemedicine programs includes primary and specialty physician clinics, nursing homes, TPA stroke assessments, school clinics, correctional facilities, Emergency Departments, ICUs, educational, and child advocacy centers. We have over 250 providers with over 32 specialties that participate within our network. A hospital can contract with us directly to provide medical specialty services such as telestroke or telepsychiatry to its ED patients. We also have several strategic partners that can provide additional healthcare services as needed. This has led to services and systems that add value, improve quality and reduce costs for our healthcare partners.

We are more than just a software or hardware company – SALUS solves the problem of applying and integrating telemedicine technology and services in a cost-effective way that will increase the efficiency and capabilities of our customer's current healthcare delivery system. We bridge borders with the most extensive and robust telemedicine program in the United States and the world. This allows our customers to establish telehealth programs anywhere in the world tomorrow – compared to a year or more for an organization to establish a program on their own. Our tools and extensive network also allow organizations to implement and support a comprehensive telehealth program for a fraction of the cost of developing an independent program from the ground up. With SALUS, our customers are never alone. Their success is of upmost importance to us and as their trusted partner we provide guidance for every step of the program implementation with our unparalleled services and 24/7 support. Beyond the launch of the program, we provide ongoing support from our account managers, customer service department and 24/7 IT support team.
