360-degree whole-person care
Converge integrates eConsult, eReferral, & Televideo in one seamless,
end-to-end telehealth solution — connecting medical, behavioral and
social service providers for true 360-degree whole-person care.
Convergence of Disciplines
Bringing medical, behavioral & social service providers together in an integrated platform
for a holistic, patientcentered care.
Convergence Access
Solving the challenges of both rural and urban settings increase access and capacity regardless of geographic location.
Convergence Across Systems
Close gaps in communication from the hands-off between providers, payors, and different healthcare systems or technology.
Convergence of Data
Real-time dashboard and robust reporting increase evidence-based care and documentation for quality metrics.
How Converge Works
- Clinical tools streamline referrals, workflows and increase standardization with decision support.
- Integrated administrative features ensure automated execution for everything from referral
eligibility and scheduling, to billing and documentation for quality or certification requirements. - Electronic consultations or “eConsults” facilitate a care plan dialogue between providers. Most
eConsults are completed within a day and over 60% are resolved without a specialist office visit.
