PLANO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2020 / iDocsWeb, developer and marketer of a proprietary Telemedicine Platform today announced they are making the technology available for one month at no cost to any Skilled Nursing or Long-Term Care Facility and ALF across the United States.
The company's founder and CEO, Dr. Suresh Nellore MD and Infectious Disease Specialist, has taken this action considering the concerns over COVID-19, more commonly referred to as the Coronavirus. He explained 'with this pandemic reaching epic proportions in the United States, it is paramount for institutions to minimize workers' and patients' exposure. The use of telemedicine as the name implies will reduce the number of in person contacts that can possibly lead to the spread of this deadly virus.'
Specifically, with Nursing Home quarantines in effect nationwide the iDocsWeb Family application allows for virtual visits between family members or responsible parties with the facility resident.
Concerned physicians can avoid cross infection risks by using the iDocsWeb Provider applications to administer remote treatment to their Nursing Home patients.
iDocsWeb currently has its telemedicine platform functioning in Long Term Care, Skilled Nursing Facilities, ALF's and Doctors' offices throughout the United States.
