The company also announced ExamFlow™ software at ATA 2014 to use to optimize telemedicine workflow procedures and to coordinate patient care. The software was designed by AMD Global Telemedicine and powered by Visual Clinic LLC.
The software was developed to help manage the workflow of telemedicine patients as they move through the various process steps from arrival to checkout. Each step is then measured against client-defined procedures and target times in order to automatically compute performance statistics and compare day-to-day activities. Using Lean Six Sigma methods, the software eliminates exam site bottlenecks and optimizes remote specialist resources.
