Description of Services:
Founded in 2011, Virtual Medical Staff is a full-service telemedicine company specializing in the placement of psychiatrists, neurologists, and hospitalists across the United States. As part of the Jackson Healthcare family of companies, Virtual Medical Staff combines staffing, technology, and telemedicine expertise to provide clients with a turnkey telemedicine solution. The approach that VMS takes in providing physician coverage is different than most other telemedicine companies. VMS takes the time to speak with the stakeholders and build a profile for a "perfect telemedicine provider". With that information in hand, we leverage the recruiting power of Jackson Healthcare to build a dedicated group of physicians, whose size and scope are based on patient volume and customer preference. Collaboration and partnership between the leaders at each client site and the operations staff at VMS drive programmatic success and assure that each program is built to fit the unique demands of each facility. By using dedicated, scheduled virtual physicians, the referring physicians, nurses, and patients build a high level of comfort with the virtual physician. Continuity of care via telemedicine is a benchmark of the service we provide and because of this, our clients and their patients receive a higher level of service and less interruption to daily work flow processes. Additionally, our Joint Commission Accredited CVO will ensure that physicians are licensed in the states where patients are located and will fully credential physicians at your facility.
