We spoke with Renee Oates of Primary Care of Southwest Georgia and found out how she was able to use healow TeleVisits™ to manage the coronavirus pandemic and to maximize usage of available resources from eClinicalWorks®. They were able to pull reports quickly and effectively, generate widespread notifications, and continue to provide care to all of their patients.
“In the beginning of March, we decided as an administration group that we just needed to hold our noses and jump into the water. We started using telehealth because our patients were already cancelling appointments.”
Renee Oates, RN, Director of Medical Services at Primary Care of Southwest Georgia
