National Rollout of Telehealth Solution Aims to Solve Medical Bottlenecks
PRLog - March 24, 2015 - BRYAN, Texas -- WellVia is rapidly becoming one of the nation's fastest growing telehealth providers. The Bryan, Texas-headquartered enterprise offers a unique three-pronged telehealth solution from a single sign-on online platform. The solution includes:
Telemedicine in the form of doctor consultations that can address many circumstances that would require a patient to make a conventional, in-person appointment.
A comprehensive wellness program identifying at-risk health issues and how to mitigate them through lifestyle choices.
An employee assistance program (EAP) that connects therapists and other specialists with employee-patients.
“The average wait time for a doctor’s appointment is up to 30 days,” remarked Co-Founder and President Todd Thoman, “Yet 70 percent of those appointments and 40 percent of emergency room visits can be handled telephonically. WellVia was created to help employers and their employees get the care they need quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.”
The company launched in 2014 as an affiliate of The Flippen Group (www.FlippenGroup.com), experts in leadership behavior who help break constraints and unleash bottom-line results. WellVia Co-Founder Flip Flippen commented, “WellVia is in complete alignment with our strategic vision; it gives everyone the comprehensive tools they need to live healthier and happier lives. At the same time, it acts as a cost-containment vehicle for employers who have seen healthcare costs continually rise. The WellVia comprehensive solution is a sensible and breakthrough paradigm shift that seeks to eliminate bottlenecks and frustration, while stemming the cost of healthcare.”
