Modernizing Medicine EHR’s Approach to Telehealth – EHR Telehealth Series

As part of our ongoing series of telehealth interviews with EHR vendors, we’re excited to share our interview with Patric Edmondson, Chief Technology Officer and Dr. Andrew Rosenthal, Medical Director of Plastic Surgery at Modernizing Medicine.  In this series, we talk with EHR vendors to better understand how they’re approaching telehealth.  Are they developing telehealth in house or are they relying on partners?  If they have their own in-house telehealth solution, what features does it include?  How are they approaching integrating telehealth into their EHR and how will they handle this with partners?

Check out the interview below to learn more about how Modernizing Medicine is approaching telehealth across both the EMA EHR and gMed EHR solutions and how they approach working with outside telehealth companies:

Here’s a quick look at the questions we discuss in this interview:

Tell us a little about yourself and Modernizing Medicine

What was Modernizing Medicine’s view on telehealth pre-COVID-19 and how did COVID-19 change that approach?

Why did you choose to develop your own in-house telehealth solution?

Is this available on all your EHR platforms?

How deeply are you integrating it into your various EHR solutions? What’s available now and what integrations are still in process?

Feature Lightning Round (ie. Do you offer this? Yes/No/Short Answer)

-Custom Branding
-Telehealth Appointment Scheduling
-Patient Self Scheduling
-Asynchronous Text Messaging with Patient
-Real Time Text Chat during visit
