Northwest Iowa medical clinics have logged into a new system to help health care professionals serve patients better.
The new system comes in handy during the COVID-19 pandemic, experts say, according to NWestIowa.com.
All the medical clinics that are in association with the regional health systems are now linked up. These clinics include Avera, Sanford Health and MercyOne. These clinics linked up in an effort to keep patients at home and combat the spread of the coronavirus.
If a patient is ready to set up video appointments with providers, all they have to do is download the mobile app and following instructions on the screen.
Kate Nagel, who is the clinic manager at Avera Medical Group Rock Rapids, said patients can just call in like they normally would.
“They can just call into the clinic like normal. They will be required to download the AveraNow app from the App Store and then create an account, but otherwise, our front desk can help you through all of it,” Nagel told NWestIowa.com. “Then once we schedule it, you’ll get an invitation on how to join the video.”
