The Virtual Healthcare System Powering Rural Health Transformation

Avel eCare is the nation’s leading Virtual Healthcare System, purpose-built to help rural communities expand access to care, stabilize the workforce, and deliver measurable outcomes at scale.

For more than two decades, Avel has partnered with hospitals, EMS agencies, senior living providers, schools, and behavioral health organizations to deliver high-quality care when and where it’s needed most—inside the hospital and far beyond its walls.

Why Rural Health Transformation Needs a Virtual System

Transformation Requires More Than Technology

Rural Health Transformation funding prioritizes partners that can move quickly, address workforce shortages, reduce costs, and scale across entire states. Fragmented point solutions cannot deliver the level of coordination or impact CMS and state agencies are seeking.

Avel eCare operates as a Virtual Healthcare System—integrating hospital-based and out-of-hospital services into one coordinated platform that supports the full patient journey.This approach enables communities to extend care, retain patients locally, and improve outcomes without adding unsustainable operational burden.

Built For RHTP Priorities

Aligned With What States and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Are Funding

Across state Rural Health Transformation applications, several priorities consistently rise to the top. Avel’s model directly supports each one:

  • Workforce stabilization and retention
  • Telehealth expansion across multiple care settings
  • Cost reduction with documented ROI Care delivered closer to home
  • Rapid implementation and scalability

Avel’s services are already reflected in state-level planning for emergency care, specialty access, behavioral health, senior care, and out-of-hospital services—making Avel a natural fit for RHTP-funded initiatives.

One System. Two Powerful Use Cases.

Different Organizations. One Virtual Healthcare System.

For Hospitals & Health Systems

Hospitals use Avel eCare to expand clinical coverage, reduce length of stay, improve throughput, and stabilize staffing—without adding permanent overhead or relying on costly locum coverage.

Hospital Use Cases Include:
  • Virtual Hospitalist and ICU coverage
  • Emergency and inpatient specialty consults
  • Pharmacy services, including Pharmacist-in-Charge and Remote Order Verification
  • Throughput optimization and bed-capacity management
Proven Impact:
  • Reduced length of stay and faster patient throughput
  • Fewer unnecessary transfers
  • Improved admissions capacity and revenue capture
  • Lower staffing and locum costs
For example, reducing length of stay by just one day in a mid-size hospital can be equivalent to adding dozens of new beds—without capital expansion.

For Out-of-Hospital Care

Keep Patients Local. Reduce Avoidable Utilization. Strengthen Communities.

Out-of-hospital organizations leverage Avel to bring high-quality care directly to patients, reducing avoidable emergency department use and supporting continuity of care across rural communities.

Out-of-Hospital Services Include:
  • EMS medical direction and treat-in-place support
  • Senior care and long-term care virtual services
  • School health and behavioral health access
  • Crisis care and psychiatry support
Proven Impact:
  • The majority of senior care telehealth encounters result in treatment in place
  • Reduced emergency department visits and re-hospitalizations
  • Lower transportation and transfer costs
  • Improved access to behavioral and specialty care in underserved areas

This model allows communities to deliver care closer to home while preserving hospital capacity for higher-acuity needs.

Rural Health Transformation funding demands accountability. Avel eCare delivers documented operational, workforce, and financial impact.

Measured Results Across Avel Clients Include:

Significant improvements in clinician recruitment and retention

Millions of dollars in incremental revenue through improved throughput

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual emergency department staffing savings
