When a patient arrives in your emergency department, clinic, or hospital with an orthopedic injury, quick access to specialized care can make all the difference. But not every facility has an orthopedic surgeon on hand—especially after hours. That’s where inReach Virtual Orthopedic Support steps in.
24/7 Orthopedic Support at Your Fingertips
InReach Virtual Orthopedic Support is a virtual orthopedic consultation service that gives your ER, hospitalist, or clinic providers immediate access to board-certified orthopedic surgeons—any time of day or night. With a response time of less than five minutes, inReach Virtual Orthopedic Support ensures your team has the expert support they need, exactly when they need it.
This around-the-clock access helps clinicians make informed decisions on next steps, whether that means initiating imaging, splinting, coordinating follow-up care, or safely discharging a patient. The result? Faster decisions, better care, and fewer unnecessary transfers.
Reducing Transfers and Keeping Patients Local
One of the key goals of inReach Virtual Orthopedic Support is to reduce patient outmigration. Many rural and community hospitals face the challenge of transferring orthopedic cases—sometimes unnecessarily—because of a lack of onsite specialists. By providing virtual access to orthopedic expertise, inReach Virtual Orthopedic Support helps facilities keep more patients in their local network, which benefits both the patient and the health system.
Following each consultation, a dedicated Clinical Navigator steps in to coordinate follow-up care. Whether it’s arranging outpatient orthopedic visits or ensuring a surgical referral, this added layer of support keeps the patient journey seamless—and local whenever possible.
Improving Work-Life Balance for Orthopedic Surgeons
InReach Virtual Orthopedic Support also benefits orthopedic surgeons by improving work-life balance. Surgeons can offer their expertise virtually, helping triage and guide care without being physically on call every night. It’s a model that supports better surgeon retention and avoids burnout, especially in systems with limited orthopedic coverage.
Expert Guidance When It Matters Most
Whether you’re a hospitalist managing a hip fracture, an ER doctor evaluating a wrist injury, or a clinic provider unsure about the need for surgical follow-up, inReach Virtual Orthopedic Support provides immediate, trusted guidance. It empowers frontline clinicians with confidence and clarity, knowing that an experienced orthopedic surgeon is just a call away.
