Forefront Behavioral TeleCare, LLC is subsidiary of AgeServe Communications, LLC, a Northern California technology company. Founded in 2006, AgeServe has developed a completely automatic, extremely easy to use, and fully supported video conferencing service for senior living facilities now installed in 14 states. Forefront has been launched to link psychiatrists with underserved and unserved patients in Rural Health Clinics (RHC), Federally Qualified Health Centers FQHC) and rural Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) using AgeServe’s unique Telehealth solution.

The crucial need for behavioral health care among these populations is well documented. 75% of rural counties in the US have no access to a psychiatrist; 95% have no access to a child psychiatrist. And 21% of all nursing homes nationwide have been cited by regulators for misuse of prescription drugs. There has been no way to efficiently deliver crucially needed behavioral health care to this population of 62 million people, until now.

AgeServe’s TeleCare Connect solution combines remarkable ease of use, comprehensive support and very low cost to make a behavioral Telehealth system both operable and affordable for smaller health care facilities for the first time.

Forefront’s vision is to create a nationwide network of psychiatrists to provide for these patients. Forefront serves the physicians in its network and provides everything they need to make behavioral telehealth a successful part of their practices including:
• Equipment
• Orientation in and Training in approved Telehealth techniques and protocols
• Introductions to referring medical facilities
• Scheduling of Appointments with patients at these facilities
• Ongoing Technical Support

Forefront helps psychiatrists help those patients who critically need their care. To join the 21st Century Telehealth Revolution, please explore within.
