Fairview Health Services Selects Avizia and Cisco Systems as Its Virtual Care Partners for Video Consultations

Avizia’s Scalable Platform Offers High Security Integration With Cisco’s Video Architecture, EMR, and Clinical Workflows

Avizia, the only telehealth cloud platform that can connect all the people, processes and technology involved in virtual care with a high degree of security, is proud to be selected by Minnesota’s Fairview Health Services as its video visit interface and telemedicine workflow tool. In addition to Avizia, Fairview will be utilizing technology infrastructure and video endpoints from Cisco to provide their clinicians and patients a high-quality and simple collaboration experience.

“We needed a virtual visit partner that had experience with our video infrastructure from Cisco and EMR technology, but it was just as important that our partners understand the purpose and objective of our clinical workflows,” says Susan Maus, Solution Strategist for the Fairview Transformation Team.

Fairview’s current video visit use cases include behavioral health consultations, medication therapy management, and language services. More use cases are planned for the coming months.

“Telehealth and video visits are increasing patient access to the most appropriate care giver, offering a key opportunity to improve quality,” adds Dr. Shahram Partovi. “Fairview, and other institutions that are taking the lead with telehealth, are constantly developing new ways to leverage this infrastructure across their continuum of care. We are proud to be a part of this transformative process.”

“Cisco’s video architecture helps to better connect patients and clinicians as healthcare best practices are increasingly utilizing technology-based, care-at-a-distance solutions,” said Barbara Casey, Cisco’s senior executive director of healthcare solutions.
