Avel eCARE Services In Our Emergency Rooms

MCHCS now has immediate, virtual access to a team of physicians and nurses who specialize in emergency medicine.  The new eCARE Emergency service will provide that extra support to their clinicians when needed. At the push of a button, local physicians and emergency room staff have immediate, virtual access to a team of physicians and nurses who specialize in emergency medicine.

eCARE Emergency supports patient care in several ways:

•   Access to board-certified emergency physicians 24 hours a day
•   Activation of emergency transport teams as early as possible
•   Fewer transfers so patients can stay close to home
•   Collaborative approach allows local caregivers to focus exclusively on patient care

“eCARE Emergency gives us the ability to extend and enhance the level of health care in our community,” said Marcia Hendricks. “It gives us access to the same type of specialists available in Des Moines, enabling us to deliver better care, right here in our community, and keep patients here whenever possible.”

Avel eCARE offers one of the largest telehealth networks in the United States, supporting more than 380 health centers, clinics, long-term care centers and correctional facilities within a fourteen -state region.
