ConferMED Delivers 100,000 Specialty eConsults in Partnership with Safety Net Connect


Safety Net Connect (SNC), a leading provider of innovative healthcare solutions, celebrates ConferMED's milestone achievement delivering over 100,000 specialty eConsults to vulnerable patients in medically underserved communities across the nation using SNC's Converge telehealth platform.

ConferMED is fiercely dedicated to the idea that access to high quality healthcare should be a right (not a privilege) for everyone regardless of geography or ability to pay. This shared principle served as the foundation for the partnership between SNC and ConferMED, which began nearly a decade ago as the two organizations joined forces to create effective telehealth solutions to bridge the health equity gap and increase access to specialty care in underserved communities.

"Our primary care providers do an amazing job ensuring that their patients receive comprehensive care," explained Dr. Daren Anderson, ConferMED Founder and President. "ConferMED's SNC-driven eConsults and live video sessions help to expand the provider's capabilities to diagnose and manage more complex conditions - and in many cases provide care that might otherwise be unavailable to their patients."

Using SNC's platform combined with a novel workflow process, the ConferMED team has delivered specialty care to more than 100,000 patients across the U.S., in collaboration with more than 3,000 primary care provider. "We're excited to celebrate this critical milestone and the dedicated ConferMED staff, specialists and primary care users who made it happen," shared Keith Matsutsuyu, CEO of Safety Net Connect. "It's truly an honor to partner with ConferMED, a leader in healthcare innovation that shares our passion for increasing health equity and access to care across all communities."



With nearly 300 specialists across all major adult and pediatric specialty care disciplines, ConferMED supports practices nationwide looking to improve access and reduce the cost of specialty care. ConferMED's specialists quickly review cases, provide input to primary care providers, and develop the optimal care plan for patients. This process improves chronic disease outcomes, reduces unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital admissions, and prevents long-term complications.
