Connect with your patients virtually through eVisit Primary Care

April 6, 2020

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing unnecessary visits to doctors’ offices and emergency rooms is a key priority. OTN’s eVisit Primary Care initiative, using the Novari Health tool, can help you provide care in a rapidly evolving environment. Primary care providers can provide virtual care to patients with non-urgent primary care issues or COVID-19 concerns using secure messaging, audio and video. ​

What are the key features of eVisit Primary Care?

  • Patients and providers can initiate virtual visits​
  • Patients can independently self-register for eVisit Primary Care​
  • Virtual visits are remunerated (secure messaging, audio and video)​
  • The platform allows for the sharing of documents and pictures ​
  • eVisitPrimary Care encounters are directly sent to EMRs for providers who are HRM enabled​​
