In healthcare, no two patients are exactly alike, and neither are any two hospitals. Different types of hospitals have different types of needs. At Eagle, we understand that. We tailor physician services to your facility and deliver them whenever and wherever you need them via our custom suite of established telemedicine services.
Telemedicine Services Designed With Your Hospital in Mind
What Our Doctors Say About Telemedicine
“With telemedicine, I am available for a hospital at any time. This saves costs and the hospital does not have to transfer patients. Patient care is what matters most. The on-site providers want to have a neurologist available when need. Inpatient care is a collaborative process. As a result, patient care is better and everyone benefits seems to benefit from telemedicine.”
– Dr. Arum Sherma, TeleNeurologist & Board-Certified Psychiatrist & Neurologist
“We’re able to see the patient. We’re able to hear their heart, lung and abdominal sounds. We’re able to look at wounds and skin abscesses. We’re able to use video to have a conversation with the patient. We have some limitations. I cannot feel the patient’s skin. I cannot know if something’s hard or soft but that’s the beauty of having a nurse in the room with us as we’re doing the telemedicine interview. In this way they become our hands. They can point out things that we may not be able to see on the video camera.”
– Dr. Charles Kutler, Infectious Disease Physician and Telemedicine Provider
“During rounding work, we are very efficient. The cart is moved from room-to-room, and we are talking to the patient while also putting in orders and filling out the electronic medical record.”
– Dr. Sheetal Patel, TeleHospitalist and internal Medicine Physician
“Time is brain. I take a quick history and I do a physical exam and a stroke scale. I review the imaging and other relevant laboratory data. I talk to the patient or with a family member. If the patient meets the criteria for stroke intervention, we [on-site staff and TeleNeurologists] administer medication or request further testing or imaging. The main point is that I am available immediately because time is brain.”
– Dr. Arum Sherma, TeleNeurologist & Board-Certified Psychiatrist & Neurologist
