to Create First Virtual Emergency Department
Combining Telehealth Innovation with Emergency
Care Solutions to Address ER Overcrowding and EMS Staffing Challenges
SAN JOSE, Calif.-- December 16, 2024 --VSee
Health (Nasdaq: VSEE), a leader in digital healthcare transformation, announces its partnership with Tele911, the nation's foremost
ER diversion solution provider. This collaboration will harness the power of VSee Health's versatile telehealth building blocks
platform to expand Tele911's impact in tackling two of the most critical challenges in emergency medical services (EMS): emergency
room overcrowding and the ongoing 911 and EMS staffing crisis.
Tele911's innovative solution diverts low
acuity 911 calls from costly and resource-draining emergency room visits through on-demand telemedicine consultations with board-certified
emergency physicians. This approach not only frees up emergency resources but also alleviates the strain on overburdened EMS teams. In
locations where Tele911 operates, the model has served over 7 million lives across 17 locations in four states, saving $28.8 million in
healthcare costs from less than 10,000 consultations.
"This partnership is a game-changer for
the EMS industry," said Dr. Milton Chen, Co-CEO of VSee Health. "By combining Tele911's innovative care model with
our robust telehealth platform, we are providing a scalable secure solution that allows Tele911 to deliver care on average in just 40
seconds, ensuring a robust 911 system for our nation. Together, we can ensure that emergency care is available when and where it's
VSee Health's secure, dynamic telehealth
building block infrastructure gives Tele911 the flexibility to quickly pivot with the needs of its clients whether that means adjusting
key workflows, scaling services, adding new locations, integrating with payers and 911 systems, or enhancing patient follow-ups. It empowers
Tele911 to extend its reach, targeting over 10 million lives by the end of 2025.
Dr. Ramon Lizardo, MD, CEO of Tele911, emphasized
the importance of the collaboration: "Our national 911 system serves as the default primary care for millions of patients. This
puts EMS agencies under unprecedented pressure, with staffing shortages compounding the demands of emergency response. Our partnership
with VSee Health allows us to focus on providing care when and where it's most needed without worrying about the technology. Together,
we're redefining emergency care for millions of patients."
By utilizing VSee Health's HIPAA-compliant
technology, Tele911 is positioned to onboard over 300 new fire and EMS agencies in its growing pipeline. This will reinforce both organizations'
commitment to delivering efficient, patient-centered solutions while addressing the systemic challenges in emergency healthcare.
