    30 days after the last time a patient has been updated in maxRVU, their information is moved to the cloud in both mobile apps.

With video technology, busy practitioners can perform “house calls,” bringing their expertise straight to the patient’s digital device. The use of telemedicine also decreases the expense of patient no-shows.
