    Telehealth is a healthcare delivery system that utilizes telecommunication to provide medical and health services remotely. Through telehealth, patients can receive medical consultation, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring from the comfort of their homes or other remote locations.

    Telehealth technology involves the use of various devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and other digital tools to connect patients with healthcare providers. This technology enables real-time audio and video communication, remote patient monitoring, and the exchange of medical data and information. The platform provides a convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional healthcare services, especially for patients living in remote or rural areas.

    A cost-effective solution

    Telehealth has the potential to reduce healthcare costs significantly by offering a more efficient way to deliver healthcare services. With telehealth, patients can receive medical care without having to travel to the hospital or clinic, which can significantly reduce transportation costs.

    Additionally, telehealth enables healthcare providers to diagnose and treat patients remotely, reducing the need for expensive in-person consultations and hospitalizations. Remote monitoring of patients’ conditions can help prevent complications and reduce hospital readmissions. Telehealth can also reduce administrative costs by streamlining appointment scheduling, data management, and billing processes.

    Determine a suitable telehealth service provider

    When selecting a telehealth service provider for a hospital, it is essential to consider several factors to ensure that the provider can meet the needs and requirements of the entity. Here are some steps to determine a telehealth service provider for a hospital:

    • Identify the hospital’s telehealth needs

    Determine the hospital’s specific telehealth needs, such as remote patient monitoring, virtual consultations, and patient engagement. This will help to identify telehealth service providers that can offer the required services.

    • Due diligence of service providers

    Research to identify potential telehealth service providers that can meet the hospital’s needs. Look for providers with a proven track record of delivering high-quality telehealth services, positive customer feedback, and industry recognition.

    • Experience of the telehealth service provider

    Consider the telehealth service provider’s experience in delivering healthcare services remotely. Check their experience in serving hospitals, healthcare providers, and patients in the hospital’s geographic location.

    • Customer and technical support

    Evaluate the telehealth service provider’s customer support to ensure that they can provide timely assistance and resolve any issues that may arise. Consider factors such as availability, response time, and support channels.

    • Pricing model 

    Evaluate the telehealth service provider’s pricing model to ensure that it is transparent, reasonable, and aligned with the hospital’s budget. Consider factors such as the cost of the service, billing frequency, and payment options.

    Pointers for utilizing the telehealth platform

    After checking the best service and implementing it, there are still some gaps before a healthcare facility can derive the maximum benefit from the technology. There are several ways to optimize telehealth services for a hospital:

    Train healthcare professionals

    Training the workforce specifically the clinical staff who will handle patient care is a paramount requirement. Clinical professionals, including doctors, nurses, and support staff, need to be trained to use telehealth technology effectively. A facility has to provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge to diagnose and treat patients remotely.

    Streamline telehealth processes

    A seamless workflow of the telehealth processes is achievable by developing a clear protocol for patient selection, scheduling, and follow-up. Design a system for sharing patient information and medical records securely.

    Patient engagement 

    Ensure that patients are engaged in the telehealth process by providing them with the necessary information about the service and how to use it. Use patient feedback to improve the service and patient satisfaction.

    Stay compliant

    Address regulatory requirements by complying with privacy and security regulations, reimbursement policies, and licensing requirements.

    Advocate telehealth services

    Promote telehealth services by advertising them through various channels such as social media, hospital websites, and local community organizations. Reach out to potential patients and highlight the benefits of the service.

    Conclusion:

    Despite the recent tryst of humanity with destiny during the recent pandemic, several healthcare facilities are delaying the decision of embracing telehealth technology that makes virtual patient care a plausible feat. The autonomy of the old-school management has to give way to the new order of change to witness the development that will be patient-centric and help tackle the problem of rising healthcare costs.
