Where Beam Fits Into Virginia's Plan
Beam's shared specialist network can support Virginia's initiatives. eConsults and curbside consults can aid 'CareIQ' by connecting rural providers to specialists. Telespecialty can expand access for 'Connected Care, Closer to Home', reducing travel for patients. This will also help advance prevention and wellness.
