What Happens After You Hand Off Work
-
Wing Assistant
Once access is set, your assistant reviews your EHR schedule, billing queues, and inbox for open items. They confirm appointments, follow up on claims, update patient records, and respond to messages based on what’s already there.
You still set priorities and can step in anytime, but you don’t have to assign or track each step to keep work progressing.
-
Care VMA Health
Care VMA Health defines tasks during onboarding through discovery, briefing, and initial setup. After that, work follows the workflows and priorities set during onboarding, along with how tasks and updates are communicated to the assistant.
What gets worked on next depends on how tasks are communicated and managed within your team, which sets the direction for day-to-day work.

Continuity & Coverage
-
Wing Assistant
Context stays in your EHR, billing system, inbox, and task history, where the assistant updates notes, statuses, and next steps.
When priorities shift or coverage changes, the next assistant reviews what’s already in progress and continues from that context, without you needing to rebuild or reassign ongoing work.
-
Care VMA Health
Continuity centers on the assigned assistant and the instructions set during onboarding. Context lives in how workflows and priorities are defined, along with updates provided over time.
If priorities shift or coverage changes, you provide updated direction so the assistant can continue work based on those instructions, including during transitions.
Scaling & Scope
-
Wing Assistant
As volume increases, work is handled within the same setup. You don’t need to reorganize how it’s assigned day to day.
If workload exceeds what one assistant can cover, you can increase hours or add additional roles depending on the type of work. When that happens, you’re not assigning tasks day to day, but you may decide when to add coverage or introduce additional roles based on workload.
-
Care VMA Health
Care VMA Health offers multiple healthcare roles and scales through additional hours or assistants, depending on the type of work.
As work grows, teams decide how tasks are divided across roles and hours, and coordinate who handles what to keep work on track.
Data Security & Access
-
Wing Assistant
Assistants work inside your EHR and billing systems with access you control. Wing is SOC 2 certified and HIPAA compliant, with SSL encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. You grant, update, and remove access as needed.
