Overview

On November 4, 2015 Genoa, a QoL Healthcare Company (Genoa) announced the launch of Genoa Telepsychiatry with its acquisition of 1DocWay, the nation’s largest outpatient telepsychiatry provider that offers a simple, easy-to-use platform to connect mental health providers and patients. Genoa is continually looking for ways to innovate and better serve the behavioral health community. Many of the Community Mental Health Centers that work with Genoa are facing increased demand for support as they strive to improve access to care for the communities they serve. One significant barrier to fulfilling that mission is the nationwide psychiatry staffing shortage. Genoa is committed to pioneering solutions that can add value to its relationships and improve patient care. Telepsychiatry provides an innovative solution to the gaps in supply and demand for mental health services, including psychiatrist availability. Providing psychiatry services through telemedicine has been demonstrated to be well received by both consumers and providers, serving as a novel method to improve access to care.
