Despite the rapid growth of Hospital Medicine, there continues to be a supply-demand mismatch. Long working hours and inconsistent patient volumes negatively impact the well-being of hospitalists and contribute to a high hospitalist turnover.
This leaves healthcare organizations scrambling to provide coverage during volume surges and resulting in dissatisfied and disengaged physicians. Hiring locums is costly and cumbersome.
Virtual Hospitalist provides a unique inpatient telemedicine strategy that addresses these challenges by improving access and eliminating the time, distance, and cost.
TeleHospitalist service offers:
- Gap coverage during holidays, weekends, and whenever your hospitalists go on CME or vacation or request time off.

- High-quality care to adult (18+ years old) hospital patients who need medical services.
- Virtual rounds and collaboration with a multidisciplinary team to promote team-work and to include professional input from all members of the patient care team.
- Real-time diagnoses and treatment in a manner that are consistent with evidence-based medicine and best clinical practices.
