Physician Groups

Secure communication across the organizations your physicians serve

Physician groups often work across hospitals, practices, and care settings that do not share the same EHR or communication tools.

Backline connects physicians with hospital staff, practice teams, patients, and care partners through secure communication, role-based routing, calling, and on-call workflows.
