Case Study: Prime Healthcare improves specialist access and reduces transfers with AmplifyMD virtual specialty care

Prime Healthcare expands virtual specialist care with AmplifyMD and 6,000+ annual consults

Prime Healthcare, a health system serving over 600 communities, faced significant challenges in recruiting specialist physicians, particularly for its hospitals in underserved areas. This gap in coverage was acutely felt during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating an immediate need for hematology/oncology and neurology services at one of its facilities. To address this, Prime Healthcare partnered with AmplifyMD for its integrated virtual specialty care service.

AmplifyMD implemented a comprehensive telehealth solution that was integrated with multiple EHR systems across 11 Prime Healthcare hospitals. This provided access to specialists in over seven service lines, including cardiology, infectious disease, and psychiatry. The partnership resulted in 6,000+ annual consults, leading to faster diagnoses, fewer patient transfers, and a reduction in recruiting expenses. AmplifyMD’s solution helped improve clinical outcomes and allowed patients to receive specialized care locally within their communities.
