Virtual Care Works has created an exciting new approach to providing medical communication and education via the Virtual Care Works platform. VCW is a secure, private broadband network enabling the practice of telemedicine, telebehavioral health and medical education as well as the exchange of protected patient data and medical images. The VCW medical grade network provides a private internet infrastructure to move electronic medical data between care providers and patients, securing personal health information within HIPAA regulations allowing data, live video and images to be shared securely and in High Definition video clarity.
VCW was founded on the recognized need for an inexpensive, medical data transport platform that providers can readily integrate with their current workflow processes. In virtually every situation they can use currently owned equipment and facilities to employ the VCW Platform. No need for any capital expenditure. The VCW platform was specifically designed with cost control and practice efficiency in mind. Our mission is to provide improved healthcare while reducing costs. By providing a certified HIPAA secure, medical grade, High Definition Video interaction between a patient and a provider, the platform allows practices to increase their patient count and profitability. Patients can now be monitored and evaluated remotely increasing a providers efficiency and assuring a much lower level of missed appointments.
