The surgical care module enables hospitals and surgery centers to transition select in-person post-operative visits to Zipnosis’ online platform. As part of a post-operative care plan, a hospital or surgery center determines at which points a patient should complete a virtual check-in, which comprises a brief online interview and uploading a photograph of the incision site.
A member of the facility’s surgical team is able to review the patient’s responses to determine whether he or she should visit the clinic for a more in-depth evaluation.
Zipnosis officials said telehealth visits are a cost-effective option for post-operative care, since most surgeries are reimbursed as a bundled payment.
