DMOS Orthopaedic Centers to launch Virtual DMOS
WEST DES MOINES, IOWA - October 27th, 2023 - Monday, October 30, 2023 will mark the launch date for Virtual DMOS. Virtual DMOS powered by Hatch will allow patients to interact virtually with a provider from wherever they are. Patients will link through their mobile device or computer through www.dmos.com where they will complete a brief questionnaire about what they would like help with as well as upload photos of their injury, if they choose. The patient will then be connected to an available provider who will walk them through a digital front door to begin their care journey with a live video call or chat. The Virtual DMOS service is available at no cost to the patient.
"We are proud to remove a basic barrier to care for patients in Central Iowa - the simple act of finding it." said Dr. Nick Honkamp, Board President of DMOS. "Now, with the Hatch partnership and connections to employers, patients will be better able to identify the right provider who will deliver the optimal clinical outcomes they deserve. After serving our communities for six decades, we're proud to introduce this innovative, new model."
