Cloud-based healthcare tech company NexGen Healthcare has added a group visit function to its telehealth platform that will allow specialists and other providers to collaborate on the same telehealth call and include patients' family members, the company said Aug. 9.
NextGen, which last month surpassed 3 million virtual visits since the start of the pandemic, said the addition works seamlessly with its enterprise EHR and can also be used for behavioral health group sessions, peer support meetings and preventive care classes.
"Virtual visits have created unprecedented access to care, allowing patients to connect with providers they know and trust, regardless of circumstances," Srinivas Velamoor, NextGen's chief growth and strategy officer, said in a company news release. "The expansion of our telehealth offering to include the entire care team further enhances our integrated offering and advances whole-person care."
