eVisit for Health Care Orgs | Virtual Health Care Appointments: Content
eVisits support connecting patients with the right provider no matter where the patient is located, ensuring equal access to the best care. Extending the support you can offer your community by way of video is easy to do and offers flexibility that both providers and patients value. Virtual access to care in this way is key to the modernization of our health care system.
We’re working on creating more opportunities to enable health care organizations and affiliated providers to use the video services of their choice, and bill for video interactions, on a proof of concept basis.

Learn more about the OTNhub community and membership
The OTNhub is a private and secure community that supports the delivery of virtual care. When health care organizations become members, eVisits are just one of the tools to which your providers will have access to. OTN’s scheduling tool enables the organizing of virtual appointments, while the OTN Directory enables providers to identify and connect with other providers, or refer patients for consults via video. eConsult is a service that connects primary care providers with specialists who provide fast online advice, helping to enhance knowledge and often avoiding the need to send patients for in-person consults. OTN provides the technical and model integration support you need to successfully build these tools into your practice models.
