Although telehealth has its benefits, some have questioned whether its continued rise is sustainable.
Is Telehealth Overrated?
Use of telehealth has increased remarkably as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and there are clear benefits for patients and clinicians. It reduces the cost of providing care, makes care more accessible, and reduces the need for travel and interpersonal contact during the pandemic. In addition, telehealth facilitates better coordination of care and better management of chronic disease.
But no, telehealth is not overrated. It does, however, require good technology. Diya Health offers clinicians and patients an easy-to-use, all-encompassing software platform that meets the need. It "plugs into" existing electronic health record (EHR) systems, is designed for use with remote or in-person visits, and can increase revenue.
DiyaMD is More Than a Telehealth Platform
Our unique, clinician-facing application, DiyaMD, has multiple capabilities that current telehealth applications lack. It improves upon existing technology, allowing clinicians to:
Perform telehealth services and remote patient monitoring.
View a patient's emergency contacts, family, and caregivers, and quickly communicate with them by text, voice, or video.
View the entirety of a patient's health record in a format that is succinct, always accessible, and safely protected.
Quickly obtain information about new patients, such as vaccination records, from previous providers.
Share components of a patient's health record with other healthcare providers, family members, or caregivers.
Capture billable services automatically.
DiyaMD not only surpasses the capabilities of current telehealth technologies, but also produces an additional revenue of $75-$150 per patient per month with minimal staffing effort and cost.
