Virtual Health Services, Inc. (VHS)

Virtual Health Services (VHS) gives medical practices back something they can rarely afford to lose: time. Based in Tampa, Florida, VHS pairs physicians with dedicated medical virtual assistants who handle the documentation burden that typically follows providers home at the end of the day. For practices looking to reduce overhead through outsourcing, VHS offers a focused solution built specifically for the healthcare setting, functioning as a healthcare BPO at the individual practice level. The core service is physician virtual scribing. A VHS virtual assistant joins each patient encounter remotely, preparing charts ahead of the day's schedule and documenting history and examination findings in real time. Assistants operate directly within the practice's existing electronic medical record (EMR) system and manage quality measure entries that would otherwise fall to the physician. The practical effect is that providers can keep their attention on the patient in the room rather than on the keyboard. VHS serves physician practices across a range of specialties, including family medicine and rheumatology. The typical client is a busy practice where administrative documentation is cutting into patient volume or pulling physicians away from their families after hours. Both solo physicians and physician-assistant teams have reported meaningful productivity gains after bringing a VHS assistant on board. This kind of virtual assistant outsourcing fills the gap between hiring in-house staff and doing everything yourself. What stands out operationally is how quickly their assistants adapt to individual workflows. Clients describe a brief adjustment period before the process runs smoothly, with assistants responsive to changes in preference and quick to learn EMR-specific quirks. One physician reported being able to increase daily patient volume within the first week. Another found that notes were consistently completed before leaving the office, a change they described as exceptional. For practices where back-office documentation is a daily drain, this level of support makes a measurable difference. If your clinic or physician group is ready to reduce the administrative side of practice, VHS is worth reaching out to.
