Iagnosis® and Riverchase Dermatology Team Up to Launch Innovative Online Solution to Treat Patients in Florida
Pittsburgh, PA, October 14, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Iagnosis®, a leading technology provider of online dermatology solutions, announced today that they have signed an agreement with Riverchase Dermatology to launch an innovative new way for patients to conduct their visit online. With 16 locations throughout Southwest Florida, Riverchase will now be able to offer patients access to one of their board-certified dermatologists online.
The system connects patients in need of care with a Riverchase provider to diagnose and treat skin, hair and nail conditions virtually through the patient portal. The online platform can reduce the average wait time to see a dermatologist from weeks or months to just three days or fewer.
Adding an online component to our growing network of facilities in Southwest Florida allows our patients even more access to the skilled providers at Riverchase. This technology from Iagnosis helps us provide quality care with more convenience for our dermatologists and patients.
Andrew Jaffe, MD, CEO of Riverchase Dermatology
“Adding an online component to our growing network of facilities in Southwest Florida allows our patients even more access to the skilled providers at Riverchase,” Andrew Jaffe, MD, CEO of Riverchase Dermatology. “This technology from Iagnosis helps us provide quality care with more convenience for our dermatologists and patients. It’s a perfect fit to match our guiding principles of treating every patient as if they were family and being dedicated to excellence in every aspect of patient care.”
Iagnosis, the company that developed the technology, has been treating patients online for several years under its DermatologistOnCall platform. The newly developed “OnCall” custom solution seamlessly integrates the HIPAA/HITECH-complaint platform into dermatology practices to provide patients a service that offers convenience while still maintaining the utmost level of quality care.
“We are excited to be working with a progressive group like Riverchase Dermatology to offer the OnCall technology. They are leaders in the market, and adding an online component to the practice further demonstrates they are committed to providing the most innovative and quality care options for their patients,” said Dave Zynn, CEO of Iagnosis®.
This online practice of medicine, commonly called teledermatology, is supported by the American Academy of Dermatologists as an innovative means of improving access to board-certified dermatologists to provide high-quality care. The industry leading Iagnosis teledermatology platform meets and exceeds all the criteria that the Academy has deemed necessary to provide quality patient care.
