Why remote working should be a healthcare industry best practice

Flu season seems to be always around the corner, and with this year’s pandemic, remote working has finally received the recognition that it has been striving towards for the last five years. Digital transformation was suddenly spurred into action not by the chiefs of technology of the business world, but by a little invisible contagious virus, hell bent on ending the world. While we awaited the decimation of our invisible foe, remote working stepped in to keep our world ticking over, even if it was from a distance.

For healthcare, the pandemic response took the industry on a very different route. While businesses furloughed staff, healthcare practices across the country answered the call to arms on the front line, putting their lives at risk every shift, to care for those infected and affected. As the virus’ pace slowed, doctors were able to very slowly resume partly normal duties, seeing patients whose appointments had been cancelled due to the pandemic lockdowns. But the enemy is still out there, so precaution must be taken where possible.

Video chat allows you to have appointments with patients who do not require a physical examination, greatly reducing the spread of the virus and allowing patients to speak with doctors as needed. Patients are more likely to attend remote follow up appointments, greatly improving your practice’s patient follow up and appointment attendance rates. Doctors will develop more comprehensive patient notes, providing considerable accuracy for future patient care.

It’s also a massive bonus to those patients who have difficulties with mobility, or in lower income situations, allowing them to attend appointments that do not require a physical assessment from the comfort of their homes. Not only does this reduce the strain on the NHS patient transport system, it also supports the millions of people who might be unable to leave work, or are financially incapable, to attend an appointment.

Doctors will also save a lot of time by attending remote appointments, especially those who have rotations at different locations. Video chat will enable them to have virtual appointments with as many patients, regardless of their location, so that they can make in-person appointments on a specific clinic day, rather than only be able to meet patients on days when they may be in the practice.
