TeleHealth Solution Announces Groundbreaking Integration with PointClickCare to Serve Long Term Care Patients

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TeleHealth Solution is proud to announce its most robust telemedicine integration completed to date between its Webside Connect application and PointClickCare's electronic health record (EHR). This integration brings together TeleHealth Solution, the leader in digital medicine for long-term care communities, with PointClickCare, the leading EHR solution for these care settings.

TeleHealth Solution is a patient- and outcome-centered approach to telemedicine designed for the post-acute care and hospital settings, with clinical approaches that reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and preventable readmissions. Telehealth Solution makes a team of multispecialty providers available via telemedicine that would not have been available to post-acute care patients on-site historically. Working with TeleHealth Solution allows skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, senior living, and hospitals to provide expert medical care to patients on site and this capability is further enhanced by the new integration.

"The depth of EHR integration is a critical factor in a telemedicine program's success. Due to the volume of telemedicine services provided in facilities today, data is now more important than ever for continuity of care. If clinical providers performing telemedicine evaluations do not have this level of integration, they may not have the data necessary to deliver quality care, and facilities are creating a compliance risk for both state and federal surveys due to missing patient data, treatment plans, progress notes, and outcome measures not being accurately reported in the electronic medical record." says Bryan Gouin, MBA, CHM, CMPE, Chief Growth Officer for TeleHealth Solution.

PointClickCare is the most commonly used EHR in these care settings, and now facilities have the option of facilitating telemedicine visits with TeleHealth Solutions' Webside Connect application, clinical services and hardware. The new integration represents the most advanced technically validated telemedicine platform to go through PointClickCare's Developer Program and includes the following data and API capabilities:

    --  Receive patient data needed for care delivery. Problem, allergy and
        medication lists from PointClickCare are available in the TeleHealth
        Solution platform, along with lab and diagnostic reports, progress notes
        and medical history. This gives clinicians the data they need to provide
        the highest quality patient care.
    --  Receive demographic information needed for identification and
        documentation. Clinicians receive data needed for care delivery directly
        within the TeleHealth Solution Webside Connect platform. Patient
        information is imported using the provider's PointClickCare login
        credentials and includes information such as current vitals, allergy and
        medication lists, along with lab and diagnostic reports, recent progress
        notes and medical history. All information is updated via API from
        PointClickCare.
    --  SOAP note/EXAM documentation wizard. Using data points obtained via the
        PointClickCare bidirectional API, clinical staff using TeleHealth
        Solution can quickly compose SOAP/EXAM documentation on the encounter by
        importing patient vitals, med list, allergies, recent labs and more with
        a push of a button. Clinicians then have access to the review of systems
        wizard and our physical exam wizard throughout the encounter, finishing
        with our ICD-10 database search to diagnose and plan for treatment of
        the patient. The end result is an outcome focused progress note which is
        imported into PointClickCare directly.
    --  Patient privacy is preserved. HIPAA-ready solution includes encryption
        that ensures patient data is protected while in transit and while stored
        in TeleHealth Solution's cloud. All information is locked behind direct
        login tokens exchanged with PointClickCare and the TeleHealth Solution
        Webside Connect Platform.

"Telemedicine services help patients in long term care facilities to access better quality care on site, protecting their health by ensuring they receive continuous care while reducing their risk of exposure to COVID-19 in the community," says Waseem Ghannam, MD, MBA, MHSA, and Co-founder of TeleHealth Solution. "TeleHealth Solution's services include technology and highly trained clinical providers that facilitate a superior virtual experience, allowing residents to stay healthier on site, and facilities to differentiate themselves and add new revenue streams by expanding telemedicine delivery with this new integration."

The new integration is available for download from PointClickCare's marketplace for use by joint customers. Users can contact TeleHealth Solution for more information about their multispecialty clinical services and proprietary software offerings to optimize the integration for their locations.
