Med Virtual launches staffing services

CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES—Healthcare technology firm Med Virtual has launched its staffing solutions to address the industry’s surging demands.

Exhaustive virtual assistant training

By leveraging the power of virtual assistants, Med Virtual will enable healthcare providers to maximize their potential and enhance patient care outside traditional office environments. 

The company’s virtual assistants undergo comprehensive training conducted by medical professionals to make sure they possess the necessary medical knowledge and administrative skills to support healthcare practices efficiently. 

Additionally, Med Virtual prioritizes the confidentiality and security of patient information, adhering strictly to HIPAA regulations to meet the highest standards of data privacy and security. 

“Our virtual staffing services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each practice, ensuring that healthcare providers can navigate the complexities of the healthcare landscape with confidence and efficiency,” Med Virtual stated.

The benefits of virtual staffing with Med Virtual include increased operational efficiency, reduced wait times, streamlined appointment scheduling, and efficient patient record management. 

This innovative approach enables healthcare providers to focus on delivering quality patient care while Med Virtual’s virtual assistants handle administrative tasks seamlessly.

America’s healthcare staffing deficit

Med Virtual’s initiative comes as the U.S. grapples with healthcare staffing shortages. A 2019 report from the Association of American Medical Colleges reveals the country faces a shortage of 17,800 to 48,000 primary care physicians and 21,000 to 77,100 non-primary care physicians by 2034.

“The way that it will manifest is that people will have increasing difficulty accessing health care and accessing physicians,” explained Janis M. Orlowski, MD, the AAMC’s chief health care officer, per “AMA Moving Medicine” podcast. 

“You probably, anecdotally, have heard stories where someone needed to see a specialist and it took six or eight weeks to see a cardiologist or a GI specialist, and I think that access is going to continue to be more and more difficult.”
