Our Virtual Emergency Room program offers remote access to emergency doctors at rural care facilities. This keeps emergency rooms open and helps patients receive medical attention while limiting the need to travel outside their community to access emergency care.

A Virtual Emergency Room operates similarly to a traditional emergency room. Patients will be seen by a nurse or clinician in-person, and may then be connected to a virtual ER doctor. The virtual ER doctor will work closely with the on-site nurse and other clinicians who will use remote technology that recreates an in-person patient/doctor experience. Together, they will determine a diagnosis and necessary treatments and follow-up with local experts if further treatment is required.
