eCare: Bringing Healthcare to You

02/05/20

SMA Healthcare’s mission is to improve lives through exceptional substance abuse and/or mental health services. As society at large turns to digital tools to access care, SMA remains dedicated to providing its clients with the best care anywhere. eCare from SMA’s Telehealth Services is key in supporting this mission.

eCare uses commonplace technology to deliver exceptional personal care, connecting clients with their SMA Care Team no matter where they are. eCare bridges Care Team access and expertise across distances, that may otherwise separate clients from the service best able to help them, through real-time interactive video visits with clinicians.

eCare from SMA Telehealth services removes barriers that may prevent clients from receiving convenient, accessible, high-quality care where they are. It ensures that they can receive the care they need, even when individuals are not near the SMA Care Team or if the care they seek is across the region. It allows clients to access care at their preferred location — in remote areas, at home, in a clinic, or anywhere they may need it, through their mobile or digital device.

This technology has the potential to improve the quality of outpatient care for our current clients and make it accessible to more. So, what are the goals of this service?

  • Make outpatient care accessible to people, no matter where they are located
  • Make services more readily available or convenient for people with limited mobility, time, or transportation options.
  • Provide access to clinical specialists
  • Improve communication and coordination of care among members of a health care team and a patient
  • Provide support for self-management of health care.

Right now, only mental health and substance use therapy is available through the eCare service. But, there is more to come! If you are a current SMA client, contact your Care Team to see if eCare will work for you. To learn more about eCare from SMA’s Telehealth services, call 800-539-4228 or visit our website at smahealthcare.org.

It’s time to put today’s technology to good use. eCare from SMA Telehealth Services: We bring healthcare to you!
