Knowledge & experience
Our team consists of leaders in the telemedicine and telepsychiatry fields. Orbit’s providers are vetted and trained to be able to handle complex diagnoses across different specializations.
Sensitivity to the patient’s environment
Orbit Health psychiatrists comply with the rules of the facilities we partner with and are trained to work with patients in any environment. Available for team meetings and clinical coordination.
Resources
We have access to state-of-the-art technologies and a network of high quality, team-oriented telepsychiatrists. Don’t be restricted to practitioners already located in your area or be limited due to contamination or safety concerns.
Excellence in recruitment
We have a unique ability to recruit and retain high quality psychiatrists, trained at the world’s leading institutions — Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, and UCSF.
Tailor-made services for your inpatient center
Your facility has its own unique needs. Maybe your patient population is steady or in constant flux. We adapt our services to yours (and their) needs from the hospital bed and beyond.
We manage our psychiatrists
Unlike locum tenens companies, we hold our psychiatrists accountable with quality and utilization review. We’re responsive to facility admin feedback and pivot as needed.
