Inpatient Telemedicine Consultations

Inpatient telemedicine is a practical answer to workforce and distance barriers in Georgia: partner practices connect your hospital or health system with board-certified infectious disease specialists through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, with real-time review of data, imaging, and labs.

For rural facilities, timely ID input can reduce unnecessary transfers and support length-of-stay management; for regional systems, it can ease capacity pressure when patients can be stabilized closer to home. Your team collaborates with our specialists to develop and execute treatment plans aligned with your care standards.

Benefits for Your Facility

• Fewer Patient Transfers: Keep patients local by accessing specialist expertise remotely
• Shorter Length of Stay: Faster diagnoses and treatment lead to earlier, safer discharges
• Antibiotic Stewardship: Our specialists help de-escalate antibiotics and antifungals appropriately
• Comprehensive Consultations: From sepsis and cellulitis to endocarditis and resistant infections
• Administrative Simplicity: All consultants are credentialed with major insurance providers; patient billing is handled by the partner practice
• Hybrid Flexibility: Combine telemedicine rounds with periodic on-site visits for optimal care continuity

Continuity Into Outpatient Care

A key differentiator of Etica Health's model is the seamless handoff from inpatient to outpatient care. When a patient is discharged, the same infectious disease specialist can continue managing their case through our outpatient telemedicine platform — ensuring treatment plans are followed through to completion.
