Lutheran Health Network provides free, convenient, online self-scheduling and telehealth for patients in Indiana. This service allows patients to check-in for estimated treatment times at our convenient care centers or book appointments for healthcare services.
Find projected treatment times for emergency departments. Instead of sitting in the waiting room, enjoy the convenience and comfort of waiting at home. Once you arrive at your designated time, you will be promptly seen by a healthcare professional. This service does not allow patients to skip in front of other visitors; all patients are seen based on the hospital's standard triage and queuing process.

How does it work?
Lutheran Health Physicians staff will provide instructions about your telehealth visit when you schedule the appointment. Visits begin by clicking a link sent by email from the practice. You will not need to download an app.
How do I make a telehealth appointment?
Call your provider and ask if your appointment can be done by phone or video. Some appointments require a physical examination in order for the doctor to meet the standard of care and make fully informed decisions. But many appointments can be managed well through virtual interaction. These may include certain visits for:
Are telehealth visits covered by insurance?

Not familiar with the concept of network effects? Below is an overview of what network effects are, how they can impact your business strategy, and what skills you need to properly leverage them to increase your profitability.
What each of these companies has in common is that the value they provide to customers increases as they scale and acquire more users. Etsy and eBay offer vastly more value to users if one million, instead of 100, sellers use their platforms. Uber and Lyft provide greater convenience and reliability to riders when more drivers join their platforms. When it comes to social media sites, users find the channels more interesting and varied as more people sign up.
Apple also benefits from direct network effects. The preferential treatment of messages sent from an iPhone to another Apple device (through iMessage) has helped the company expand its moat in the market.
Indirect network effects, on the other hand, occur when a platform or service depends on two or more user groups, such as producers and consumers, buyers and sellers, or users and developers. As more people from one group join the platform, the other group receives a greater value amount. This is best illustrated by the e-commerce and ridesharing examples noted above.
According to Economics for Managers, the underlying principles of network effects imply that the business, website, or platform with the highest market share will be more successful in the long run. This means that its market share is likely to grow more substantially. For this reason, markets in which network effects play a major role are often referred to as winner-takes-all markets.
