East Coast Provider of Mental Health and
Substance Abuse Services Enables Staff to Treat Patients from Home
Using 8x8 Video Meetings
8x8, Inc. (NYSE:EGHT), a leading integrated cloud communications
platform, today announced Retreat Behavioral Health, a respected
provider of mental health and substance abuse services, has
deployed the 8x8 X Series solution with 8x8 Video Meetings to
enable its clinical and medical staff to safely work from home
while continuing to support their patients.
Retreat Behavioral Health, founded in 2011, is dedicated to the
treatment of substance use and medical health disorders at multiple
locations up and down the East Coast. It provides a multitude of
inpatient and outpatient rehab services to help people easily
access the best quality of care in a holistic and peaceful
environment. Due to COVID-19, the health care provider needed to
implement new protocols dedicated to the safety of both their
patients and staff while still providing the highest quality of
treatment.
“We are taking all the necessary precautions during this
pandemic as the safety of our patients and staff is our top
priority,” said Scott Korogodsky, Chief Administrative Officer at
Retreat Behavioral Health. “Our on-site clinical and medical staff
are leaders in their fields, committed to working tirelessly on
behalf of our patients. By working with 8x8, we video-enabled our
staff so they could work from home without impacting the
personalized and comprehensive care that is tailored to each
patient’s unique needs.”
Working with technology solutions provider The Monaco Group,
Retreat Behavioral Health rapidly deployed video meetings within 48
hours for its staff to support patients from home without
sacrificing quality of care. Now all patient admissions are
pre-screened remotely through a tele-health assessment using video
if required. In addition, complete patient visits are administered
from home by the staff via 8x8 Video Meetings.
“Video is emerging as the critical component of a health care
provider's telehealth practice, especially in light of the current
crisis and shelter in place orders,” said Vik Verma, Chief
Executive Officer at 8x8, Inc. “Retreat Behavioral Health is at the
forefront of innovative care and is solidifying their place in the
telehealth community while providing a new and effective resource
for their patients. Their use of the 8x8 cloud video platform
really showcases their industry leadership, and we are proud of the
role we are playing to help them enhance care while keeping both
patients and staff safe.”
