Investment will expand telehealth in LTC market

The deal will allow HealthSpot to use Xerox's IT infrastructure to deploy more of its telehealth kiosks to key locations throughout the country, including within long-term care facilities. It also will give Xerox a leg up in the delivery of cloud-hosting services, system integration, claims eligibility and claims submissions solutions.

"HealthSpot is at the center of healthcare’s shift to a patient-centered model of care, and our investment in the company demonstrates Xerox’s commitment to transforming traditional healthcare into a high-value delivery system for patients, providers and payers," said Connie Harvey, chief operating officer of Commercial Healthcare for Xerox, in a press release.

Steve Cashman, HealthSpot CEO, added: "Telehealth is recognized as a solution for access, but to become a true extension of traditional healthcare requires more than just a mobile app and a videoconference with patients. We need an integrated and secure IT offering that is scalable, and our Xerox partnership will do just that."
