Inspira Health Network www.inspirahealthnetwork.org in southern New Jersey offers primary, acute and advanced care services, has just launched “Inspira eCare. This online diagnosis and treatment service virtually connects patients with Inspira clinicians.
Inspira eCare powered by Zipnosis www.zipnosis.com is the first virtual care company enabling health systems to launch virtual care service lines staffed by their own clinicians. By using evidence-based online adaptive interviews from their smartphones, tablets, or computers, patients can be virtually treated for more than a dozen common medical conditions.
After interviewing the patient, the system enables a physician employed by Inspira to review results and provide the diagnosis and treatment plan. If needed, the interview can be supplemented with a video visit. For existing Inspira Urgent Care and Inspira Medical Group patients, the provider can send a prescription electronically to the patient’s pharmacy.
“We liked the idea of using our own providers in an innovative way that delivers both continuity of care and a competitive advantage”, said Evelyn Balogun MD Medical Director of Urgent Care at Inspira. “We have been implementing a number of new digital technologies for our patients, including a completely responsive website and a suite of mobile apps.”
