Long-term Advantages of Using a Infectious Disease Specialist
During the pandemic, hospitals became acutely aware of the need and advantages of telehealth for Infectious Disease (ID) to support care for patients with COVID-19, especially those patients with complicated cases. But, hospitals have long needed ID specialists to manage aging and chronically ill patients with a variety of infectious diagnoses, including more rare infections.
For small community and rural hospitals, as well as suburban and inner city facilities, having an ID specialist on staff is not always possible. Eagle’s Tele-ID specialists are ready to support these hospitals, available for consult at a moment’s notice – ensuring fast, accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment, and preventing the need for transfer to a tertiary care center often a considerable distance away.
