Does Telemedicine Make Sense for Your Practice?

Telemedicine was once thought of only as a way to serve rural patients with limited access to healthcare facilities. However, with consumers now demanding 24/7 access to every service, including healthcare, it is not surprising that many doctors are interested in adding telemedicine services to their everyday practices.

Offering telemedicine accomplishes two things:

* It gives patients access to doctors when they want it

* It provides physicians with a new source of revenue.

Consult a Doctor’s MYPRACTICE 24/7 is a powerful telemedicine platform that provides everything a doctor entering telemedicine will need to begin seeing patients. The platform is cloud-based so there is no software or hardware to install.

According to Consult a Doctor, physicians can be ready to launch their telemedicine program within a few days. Physicians using MYPRACTICE 24/7 can consult with patients via phone, email, video and mobile applications. It even includes an ePrescribing module that allows physicians to prescribe over phone, video or email. The platform also handles patient payments.

MYPRACTICE 24/7 securely manages patient information with a built-in electronic health record system (or it can synch with an existing health record system). The platform also manages all calls and email scheduling. With the platform, it is easy to create a personalized telemedicine web portal for the existing practice. In addition, the platform includes a Personal Health Manager, so patients have easy access to their healthcare information.
