Welkin Health, a San Francisco-based digital health company, today announced a new series of features and functionality to support a variety of team-based care delivery models including chronic, acute, and primary care. The new features and functionality were developed in close collaboration with Welkin’s customers to better serve care team needs.
“We have seen growth on our platform for care delivery models across all chronic and acute care use cases and emerging virtual primary care models,” says CEO, Michelle Pampin. “Our customers’ needs have shifted with COVID-19, and we are working closely with them to define requirements for more remote and virtual care delivery models.”
