There is a call calendar for shared weekday, daytime inpatient consults. Few inpatient consults and incoming calls from our Villages.
The standard for all physicians is to attend approximately 6 field clinics per year and physicians can anticipate them to be every other month. Our providers are allotted a post field day off to account for travel and charting without having to see additional patients.
Telemedicine is a large component of our follow ups with the remote populations we serve. Most villages are set up with tele-med capability. While initial consultations are performed in person so a full physical examination can take place we utilize our tele-med platform for follow-ups.
