Virtual care has the potential to transform traditional healthcare by shifting the focus from an episodic care and repeat services model to a model that emphasizes access and quality. Here are some ways that VitalTech’s virtual care solution can achieve this transformation.
Improved Access to Care
Virtual care provides patients with more convenient and flexible access to medical care, reducing the need for in-person visits. This can help to improve patient access to care, particularly for individuals who live in rural or remote areas, have mobility issues, or have difficulty taking time off work to visit a doctor. Virtual care can also help to reduce wait times for appointments and reduce the need for emergency room visits.
VitalTech solutions enable healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ health status, reducing the need for in-person visits. Patients can use VitalTech’s patient application to track their vitals, symptoms, and medication adherence, which can be monitored by healthcare providers in real-time. This can help to identify potential health issues early, enabling early intervention and preventing complications.
Additionally, the combination of VitalTech’s comprehensive enterprise virtual care solutions and AT&T’s FirstNet® network ensures that patients and clinicians always have access to real-time data and communications, addressing some of the most significant health equity issues facing the US healthcare system.
Continuity of Care
Virtual care enables healthcare providers to easily communicate and share patient information, leading to better continuity of care. By having access to a patient’s complete medical history, healthcare providers can provide more personalized and effective care. This can help to reduce the need for repeat services and improve patient outcomes.
VitalTech solutions enable the continuity of care by facilitating communication and information sharing between healthcare providers, providing real-time data on patients’ health status, empowering patients to be more involved in their own care, and ensuring the secure sharing of patient data and that all healthcare providers involved in a patient’s care have access to the same information. All of this leads to better coordination of care and improved patient outcomes.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Virtual care allows healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ health status, enabling early intervention and preventing complications. This can help to reduce the need for hospitalizations and emergency room visits.
VitalTech’s RPM solution enables healthcare providers to monitor patients’ health status in real-time. This means that healthcare providers can identify potential health issues early and intervene before they become more serious. By providing healthcare providers with real-time data, VitalTech’s RPM solution can help prevent complications, reduce hospitalizations, and improve patient outcomes.
Personalized Care
Virtual care enables healthcare providers to provide personalized care that is tailored to each patient’s unique needs and preferences. By having access to patient data and utilizing digital health tools, healthcare providers can deliver more effective care that is specific to each patient’s needs.
VitalTech’s RPM solution allows healthcare providers to personalize care based on each patient’s unique needs and health status. By having access to real-time data on patients’ vitals, symptoms, and medication adherence, healthcare providers can tailor care plans to each patient’s individual needs, leading to better health outcomes.
Patient Engagement
Virtual care provides patients with tools to engage in their own care, such as patient portals and mobile apps. This can help to improve patient education and self-management, leading to better outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
VitalTech’s RPM solution encourages patients to be more engaged in their own care by providing them with tools to monitor their health status, communicate with healthcare providers, and manage their medications. By empowering patients to be more involved in their own care, VitalTech’s RPM solution can lead to better patient outcomes and improve the quality of care.
Preventative Care
VitalTech’s RPM solution enables healthcare providers to monitor patients with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). By identifying potential health issues early, healthcare providers can intervene before they become more serious, leading to better health outcomes and improved quality of care.
VitalTech’s virtual care solution supports the transition of traditional healthcare by providing patients with more convenient and accessible care, improving the quality of care, and reducing healthcare costs. By emphasizing access and quality, virtual care can help to shift the focus of healthcare from treating acute episodes of illness to providing ongoing, comprehensive care that promotes wellness and disease prevention.
