Zipnosis is expanding its service with a new offering called ZipTicket, a healthcare “boarding pass” that gives patients front-of-the-line access to routine lab tests such as a rapid strep test.

The company has developed a white-labeled, fully integrated platform that allows health systems to launch their own branded virtual care service line staffed with their own clinicians. As part of the deal, Zipnosis guides health systems through clinical, marketing, compliance and operations workflows, in an effort to help them launch virtual care programs in just 60 days. The solution integrates with a health system’s EMR and patient portal, and allows health systems to serve both existing and new patients.

The patient logs into the health system’s virtual care site and completes a short online interview that gathers information about the patient’s condition. Then, Zipnosis’ algorithm of triage tools sends the interview to the appropriate clinician within the health system for diagnosis and treatment. A clinician is presented with structured information that facilitates a diagnosis and treatment decision in about two minutes, delivering what Zipnosis says is the most efficient virtual care encounter on the market.

The company recently raised $17M in Series A funding led by Safeguard Scientifics.
