At The Ashe Center, we understand that modern healthcare demands flexibility and convenience. That's why we've integrated asynchronous care visits into our suite of services, ensuring that you receive quality care on your terms.
All About eVisits, or Asynchronous Care
What are eVisits, or Asynchronous Care, Visits?
Asynchronous care visits, also known as "eVisits," allow patients to interact with healthcare providers without the need for simultaneous communication.
Instead of scheduling appointments and waiting for real-time consultations, patients can securely share their health information — such as images, videos, or messages — with healthcare professionals at their convenience.
How It Works
- Patient Initiation: Start by accessing your Patient Portal where you can upload relevant medical information, describe your symptoms, or ask questions about your health.
- Provider Review: Our healthcare providers review your submitted information and respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 1 business day.
- Feedback and Recommendations: You'll receive personalized feedback, diagnoses, treatment plans, prescriptions (if needed), or further instructions directly through our platform.
Benefits of Asynchronous Care/ eVisits
Convenience: Access healthcare whenever and wherever you need it, without the constraints of traditional appointment scheduling.
Efficiency: Reduce waiting times and streamline your healthcare experience with timely responses from healthcare professionals.
Accessibility: Particularly beneficial for patients with busy schedules, mobility issues, or living in remote areas where access to healthcare might be limited.
Privacy and Security: Our platform prioritizes patient confidentiality and adheres to strict data protection regulations, ensuring your information is safe.

Scenario: Emily's eVisit at The Ashe Center
Emily's eVisit at The Ashe Center
Scene: A bustling UCLA campus, early morning. Emily, a sophomore student, sits in Powell Library, engrossed in her studies. She is distracted by a scratchy feeling in her throat, which she realizes has been bothering her for a couple of days.
Emily: (thinking to herself) "Ugh, this sore throat is getting worse. I really don't have time to go to the campus health center right now, and I have a big exam tomorrow."
Emily remembers hearing about eVisits from a friend and decides to explore this option.
Emily: (pulls out her phone, visits The Ashe Center Patient Portal) "Alright, let's see how this works."
She navigates through The Ashe Center Patient Portal, finding the section for eVisits.
Emily: "Looks like I can upload photos and describe my symptoms. This might be quicker than waiting for an in-person appointment."
Emily takes a quick photo of her throat using her phone, fills out the symptom description, and submits her request.*
Emily: (to herself) "Okay, done. Now I guess I wait."
Later that afternoon, Emily receives a notification on her phone.
The Ashe Center: Your primary care provider has responded to your eVisit request.
Emily: (opens the message eagerly) "Let's see what they say."
She reads the response from the eVisit team who reviewed her case at The Ashe Center.
Emily's PCP: "Hi Emily, based on your description and photo, it looks like you have a mild case of pharyngitis. Here are some recommendations: rest, drink plenty of fluids, and consider using throat lozenges for relief. If your symptoms worsen or persist, please follow up."
Emily: (feeling relieved) "That was quick and straightforward. I'll follow my provider's advice."
Emily takes note of the recommendations and closes the Patient Portal, grateful for the convenience of asynchronous healthcare/ eVisits.
Emily: (to herself) "This was so much easier than I expected. I'll definitely use this again if I need to."
Emily goes back to her studies, feeling reassured that she can manage her health needs efficiently, even during busy college life.
This scenario highlights how asynchronous healthcare visits can benefit college students like Emily, providing them with quick and convenient access to healthcare advice without disrupting their academic schedules.
