Realizing the benefits of telemedicine for both medical practices and their patients,
Vein Specialists of America (VSA) has created a virtual vein screening platform to give vein practices nationwide the ability to offer virtual screenings to their patients.
VeinPIX is a professional way for vein practices to encourage patients to seek additional information and learn about available treatment options for their discomfort and pain in one or both legs. It was developed as an alternative for thousands of vein practices nationwide that have succumbed to offering “free vein screenings” to compete with other vein practices in their service area.
VSA President and CEO David Schmiege said a practice using VeinPIX benefits by gaining additional exposure to patients with venous disease by offering the convenience of a virtual screening – thus increasing the number of monthly consultations and procedures. “VeinPIX can help you eliminate free screenings and increase paid consultations.
With VeinPIX, patients are able to complete a self-assessment questionnaire and upload photos directly to a practice with the click of a button. Designed to be accessible in a variety of settings, VeinPIX is desktop, tablet and mobile device friendly.
The patient’s leg photos and self-assessment questionnaire are sent securely through VSA’s HIPAA-compliant and encrypted server. No longer required to come to your office or a health fair, VeinPIX accommodates the patient whenever and wherever it is convenient for them.
“VeinPIX makes virtual screenings convenient for both patient and doctor,” Schmiege said. “Patients using VeinPIX are able to send you their questions, along with a completed self-assessment questionnaire, including digital photos of their leg(s), from the comfort and privacy of their home. VeinPIX accommodates the patient whenever and wherever it is convenient for them by facilitating the secure transmission of patient screenings and photos.”
VeinPIX is an annual subscription program that is available on an exclusive basis within 15 miles of your office locations.
