Audio/Video Interface
Description

During the encounter, providers see a split
screen, with the live, interactive patient video on
the left side of the screen. The right side of the
screen displays patient information (ie, biographical info, completed questionnaires, encounter
history); facilitates secure file sharing; allows
the provider to upload note templates and take
notes; and hosts a live chat feature. The provider
can capture camera images of the patient to
save on file, and the system also supports external cameras and audio headsets.

After creating the appointment, the patient will
receive an e-mail to set up his/her account, and
the appointment will appear on the physician's
schedule. When it’s time for the appointment to
begin, Chiron Health will notify physicians when
the patient is ready. Physicians simply click “Start
Appointment” and physician and patient will be
face to face in a split-screen view. Physicians can
see themselves and the patient. When finished,
simply click the “Complete Appointment” button.
Next physicians complete charting
inside of your EHR, just like an in-person visit.

In addition to the view of the patient, users also get
a virtual waiting room and the ability to message
with patients before and during visit. Also, paid versions have payments, screen share, 3-way calling,
HIPAA compliant file transfer and request, and photo
capture.

As the first telemedicine platform to be designed,
developed, and custom-built by a professional
medical society, AASM SleepTM is the standardbearer for a new era of sleep medicine that will
enhance the availability of affordable, convenient,
patient-centered care nationwide.

Chiron Health is a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine
software that allows physicians to connect with
patients for routine appointments over secure
video—and receive full reimbursement. Cloud
software contains full support for patients and
physicians, EHR/PM integrations, plus billing and
reimbursement tools including the Chiron Rules
Engine and Reimbursement Guarantee.

Currently the platform has over 6,000 users who
have used over 1,000,000 minutes. Doxy.me is
designed to be simple and easy to use and integrate
with current workflows. Doxy.me does not collect
or store patient data, we believe that is the role of
EHRs; Doxy.me focuses on providing the best and
most simple telemedicine video experience possible.
Most providers run their EHR and Doxy.me side by
side (often with dual monitors).
