Cardiovascular Institute of the South Opens Virtual Care Center

Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS) will hold a ribbon cutting of its first-of-its-kind cardiology Virtual Care Center on May 17 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

 CIS Virtual Care Center will serve as the hub for unique programs at CIS such as:

-Telecardiology: CIS telecardiologists provide consultations in the emergency room and on the department floor, improving access to care for our patients.

-OMS C3: OMS C3 allows a CIS provider to connect with patients via non-face-to-face visits such as phone calls, emails, text messages, and videos to help patients monitor their chronic conditions.  

-CIS night call program: A centralized night-call program staffed by three full-time nurse practitioners who rotate 6 p.m. – 6 a.m. shifts. 

-Cardio@Home Remote Patient Monitoring: Cardio@Home utilizes state-of-the-art technology to remotely monitor patients at home, providing consistent, continual care when needed—reducing risk of readmissions.

CIS's Virtual Care Center will enhance care options for patients by providing state-of-the-art technology, increasing access to care, improving outcomes, and enhancing communication between patients and providers.  The VCC team is comprised of five nurse practitioners, 18 LPNs, an RN, six telemetry techs, three chronic care navigators and a practice administrator.

The center is located at Cardiovascular Institute of the South, 2730 Ambassador Caffery Parkway, on the second floor.
