- Improved operational efficiency: Helps payers reduce costs, engage members, increase access and equity, and differentiate in the market.
- Elegant, unified patient and provider experience: A seamless, integrated and connected platform, it allows providers and patients to connect easily through a single meeting place for virtual care and integrates with existing workflows, EHRs, patient portals, and consumer experiences.
- Improved outcomes: Enables care teams and payers to leverage the best of in-person, virtual, and automated care across the care continuum
- Addresses workforce shortages and supports clinicians: Alleviates staffing shortages and burnout, offering full-spectrum digital care and ensuring that support for healthcare providers, patients, and business units is available 24/7/365.
Amwell also strives to deliver these powerful multi-fold ROI benefits with the superior patient and provider experience of its clinical network the Amwell Medical Group (AMG). AMG allows Amwell to deliver the benefits of an extended and highly available team without competing with them. When customers choose, Amwell augments customer resources with provider bandwidth to help alleviate burnout and solve critical care team shortages, like behavioral health, dermatology, or neurology.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Research Analyst, Azza Fazar, said, “Amwell’s secure platform offers a range of functionalities, including provider-to-patient interactions at home, provider-to-provider interactions in an inpatient or ambulatory setting, and automated care to monitor, analyze, and engage patients at scale remotely.”
Amwell collaborates with various stakeholders and partners to evolve alongside market needs and trends. The partnerships enable Amwell to develop and evolve its platform continuously and ensure that clients receive the best digital care delivery solutions to meet their needs, even as their needs change over time. Its partnership with Google Cloud integrates artificial intelligence and natural language processing to enable real-time captioning and translation, taking Converge to the next level. SilverCloud Health and Conversa Health acquisitions focus on improving patient engagement and experience, care team reach, and care delivery outcomes. The strategic partnerships offer differentiated value to current and future clients, such as digital care solutions for mental wellbeing. They also facilitate virtual care automation and patient companionship, advancing longitudinal care, behavioral health, and other chronic-care segments.
