Work with DiMe on an upcoming project

The Virtual First Care (V1C) Coalition by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe)

Unlocking the true potential of virtual first care will improve outcomes, enhance patient access, and create the most effective care possible.

The V1C Coalition is dedicated to driving V1C to shape a healthcare system that’s optimized for the digital era and intentionally designed with patients at the center.

Member Motivation

Ciba Health is participating in the Virtual First Care (V1C) Coalition by DiMe to champion the shift towards virtual-first care models and accelerate the development of digital health solutions, driving value for our organization by enabling us to deliver more efficient, patient-centric, and accessible care. By joining the V1C Coalition, we can collaborate with industry leaders to drive innovation, improve health outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs.

Innocent Clement | CEO and Founder, Ciba Health

At ISHI Health, our strategic alliance with the V1C Coalition enhances our ability to lead in virtual care by gaining access to critical insights and educational resources, ensuring we remain ahead of industry trends.

This collaboration not only fortifies our operational excellence but also drives the establishment of best practices to deliver high-quality virtual care, while playing a crucial role in advancing the broader virtual and hybrid care ecosystem and delivering value to all stakeholders.

Ajay Srivistava MD, FACC | Founder & CEO, ISHI Health

Mercer is a proud member of the V1C Coalition because we believe that “virtual care” is just “care”. Employers must think about how to design their benefits ecosystem to address unique needs in their populations, while optimizing the delivery of care and the solutions they provide. V1C can greatly enhance access, reducing challenges for members, and disparities across member populations.

Kate Brown | Principal, Leader, Center for Health Innovation, Mercer

Our partnership with DiMe and the V1C Coalition helps Dentistry.One grow as a leader in virtual first oral healthcare. The V1C Coalition enables collaborative discussions to promote virtual first care delivery. It helps connect with experts, stay informed about best practices in quality digital medicine, and identify solutions to reveal true medical-dental integration.

Sharity Ludwig | Senior Director of Clinical Operations, MouthWatch

NAWHC recognizes the value of being part of the V1C Coalition as employers develop their “click and mortar” strategies to offer onsite, near-site, mobile and virtual care to their employees and dependents. 

With many people working from home or on the road, delivering medical and mental health services to those outside the main location is critical for maintaining a healthy and productive workforce. 

Larry Boress | Executive Director, National Association of Worksite Health Centers

For virtual-first care providers to become part of the standard of care, we must educate policymakers and advocate for virtual-first’s adoption at all levels of government. V1C Coalition members bring services that are clinically-validated, data-driven and human-centered to the populations that need them most, and Omada is excited to be a part of that initiative.

Lucia Savage | Chief Privacy and Regulatory Officer, Omada Health

Oshi Health is a founding member and continues to participate in the V1C Coalition because we recognized in 2020 the need to educate policy makers and healthcare purchasers on the value that purposefully- designed V1C models can drive for all stakeholders compared to today’s fragmented and broken fee for service healthcare system. We also value comparing notes with other V1C innovators as we all face similar artificial and antiquated barriers to scaling our impact and can work together to advocate for policy and payment reforms that modernize our healthcare delivery system and enable the shift toward value based care.

Sam Holliday | CEO and Co-Founder, Oshi Health

We are proud to be a member of the V1C coalition. 

Our hope is to garner promising best practices from across its expansive ecosystem in order to continue developing proactive virtual-first care models to advance maternal health. 

The maternal care health experience, especially the vacuum of care postpartum, is ripe for redesign, and we believe virtual-first care, in partnership with health plans and healthcare systems, can dramatically change outcomes for families and babies.

Andrea Ippolito | CEO and Founder, SimpliFed

At Sunrise, we are leveraging the V1C Coalition for business development, fostering partnerships of all kinds. Through this collaboration, we are also gaining insights into the evolving digital healthcare industry.

Alice Forgeois | Chief Financial Officer, Sunrise

The V1C Coalition represents a valuable opportunity for Thirty Madison to collaborate with other industry leaders in advancing the infrastructure for virtual care. We are all building for the future of care delivery—one that has evolved at the speed of patient preferences. Medical coding and reimbursement law, the backbone of the healthcare payment ecosystem, must also evolve. 

DiMe has been a critical coalition-builder for companies like Thirty Madison in demonstrating clinical quality and cost-effectiveness across virtual care solutions.

Neil Parikh | Chief Medical Officer, Thirty Madison

Participating in the V1C Coalition by DiMe provides invaluable networking, access to cutting-edge data, and best practices that significantly enhance Visana Health’s ability to deliver top-tier virtual women’s healthcare.

Olivia Deitcher | CEO, Zest Dermatology
