American Well Announces AW11; Brings New Provider Global Home for Telemedicine, Embeds Capabilities Directly Into EMRs, Simplifies Workflow for ProvidersBOSTON, May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- American Well, the leading telehealth provider in the U.S., today launched AW11, a new telehealth experience for providers offering video visits to their patients. The company is making it even easier for providers to deliver care virtually by enhancing the on-platform experience through a newly redesigned provider interface, expanded product features for system-wide telemedicine offerings in the hospital setting and the ability to deliver telehealth directly from within an EMR. "Telehealth is expanding rapidly by way of consumer adoption. As a result, there's a heightened sense of urgency to tighten the integration into provider workflows, as the two are so deeply intertwined," said Roy Schoenberg, MD, MPH, CEO at American Well. "As telehealth transitions from an urgent care consumer app to an ecosystem where clinical services are distributed digitally, deep assimilation into the provider day-to-day reality, supporting systems and practicing lifestyle becomes pivotal for adoption and growth. In a nutshell – this is what AW11 is all about." New and enhanced provider app features will include:
"Feedback from our beta partners has been incredibly positie," said Katie Ruigh, SVP of Product at American Well. "Provider experience is crucial to telehealth expansion, and creating experiences that delight this community is an important part of our mission. We welcome this feedback and have invested heavily in R&D to reflect these research-driven insights."
