With telemedicine for primary care providers, you can consult with your patients from any location, making it possible to provide \u201chouse calls\u201d without ever setting foot in a patient\u2019s home. Virtual Care is becoming more widely available, and offering your services via Virtual Care is just another way that you can provide the very best care to your patient base.<\/p>\n<p>Expanding your practice\u2019s success means staying up to date with evolving trends, and virtual care for primary care providers lets you do just that. With easy-to-use Virtual Care tools in place, you can see your primary care patients in much the same way as you would if they were in your office \u2013 all without inconveniencing them with the commute and the wait. GlobalHealth provides tools and software that put telemedicine at your patients\u2019 fingertips, so you can expand the options you offer while simultaneously enhancing practice management and patient flow-through.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual Care can provide access to healthcare professionals that would otherwise not have been possible, and make more efficient use of healthcare provider resources, while still remaining compliant with patient privacy issues related to healthcare services delivery. For providers and patients alike, in addition to the positive health effects, there are numerous benefits to using virtual care for primary care health conditions:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Provide Ongoing Care<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For patients suffering from chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease, Virtual Care helps patients better engage in their care.\u00a0 Primary Care Providers are able to monitor symptom progression, adjust medications, and modify treatment plans without asking patient to return to the office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offer Counseling Services<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Primary Care Providers dedicate a lot of time and energy to mapping out self-care plans for managing depression, weight loss, and smoking cessation. Virtual Care allows physicians to conveniently check in with patients, provide counseling, and ensure treatment plans are still working well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review Screenings And Lab Results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Providers order multiple lab tests and screenings each day, whether it be Complete Blood Counts, blood glucose levels, or other tests. For abnormal lab results, remote video allows Primary Care Providers to discuss results with their patients face-to-face without losing money on follow-up phone calls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manage Medications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s birth control, blood pressure medication, or antidepressants, remote video appointments are an ideal solution for adjusting patient medications.\u00a0 It\u2019s more efficient for both patients and providers without sacrificing physician reimbursement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chronic Condition Management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chronic condition patients often require multiple physician office visits each year. These are patients who have regimented treatment plans that are frequently adjusted and must be closely monitored by an existing provider. For patients with chronic conditions, video-based follow-up appointments often involve medication adjustments, monitoring of side effects, lab\/imaging result reviews, and overall treatment plan management.<\/p>\n<p>Chronic conditions commonly managed through telemedicine include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Hypertension<\/li>\n<li>Coronary artery disease<\/li>\n<li>Cardiac arrhythmia<\/li>\n<li>End stage renal disease<\/li>\n<li>Hepatitis<\/li>\n<li>Asthma \/ Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease<\/li>\n<li>Obesity<\/li>\n<li>Oncologic co-morbidities<\/li>\n<li>Neurodegenerative diseases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wellness exam follow-up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Patients who receive yearly wellness exams are prime candidates for telemedicine follow-ups. While the wellness exam itself requires a head-to-toe physical exam, following up on blood work and other screenings is ideal for a remote telemedicine visit. These remote visits also give providers the opportunity to discuss how the patient can make smart lifestyle decisions in order to improve overall health \u2013 which is especially important when abnormal results are found.<\/p>\n<p>Common wellness screenings ideal for telemedicine follow-up include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Colonoscopy \/ sigmoidoscopy results<\/li>\n<li>Mammogram results<\/li>\n<li>Cholesterol levels<\/li>\n<li>Sexually Transmitted Disease testing<\/li>\n<li>Complete Blood Count results<\/li>\n<li>Blood glucose levels<\/li>\n<li>Liver function testing<\/li>\n<li>Pap smear results<\/li>\n<li>Blood electrolytes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minor urgent care<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Patients with a broad range of minor urgent care issues are increasingly turning to telemedicine for convenient access to healthcare providers from home. PrimaHealth enables these patients to receive care from their existing providers, ensuring full access to their medical records and providing continuity that is not possible with urgent care centers and on-demand Telehealth services.<\/p>\n<p>Common urgent care issues evaluated over telemedicine include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cold and flu<\/li>\n<li>Allergies<\/li>\n<li>Sinus\/ear infections<\/li>\n<li>Sore throat<\/li>\n<li>Urinary Tract Infections<\/li>\n<li>Diarrhea and vomiting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #2aa2de;\">Improved Patient Care<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Convenience<br \/>\n<\/em>Virtual visits make primary care services more convenient for patients. With Virtual Care, a patient seeking primary care health support can get treatment without leaving home. Greater convenience also leads to more routine treatment and better outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Increased Access<br \/>\n<\/em>For patients who live in remote areas or congested urban areas, who are housebound, who have trouble lining up childcare, or just have too much going on in their lives to make room for regular therapy sessions, virtual care offers an easier connection to primary care providers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Continuity of Care<br \/>\n<\/em>With the ease of scheduling and attending appointments from home, more routine appointments can be scheduled as needed with preferred caregivers. Fewer missed appointments mean that patients are more likely to achieve the goals of their treatment program through greater adherence to evidence-based treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #2aa2de;\">Enhanced Productivity<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Operational Efficiencies<br \/>\n<\/em>The use of virtual visits can allow a provider organization to leverage various levels of clinicians to engage the patient to address different needs. The convenience of an online appointment can allow a patient to secure a visit with their provider from the convenience of their home.<\/p>\n<p><em>Clinic Throughput<br \/>\n<\/em>Virtual visits, whether scheduled for the patient or by themselves, can eliminate the inconvenience of travel to see a provider, missed appointments and\/or patients simply not seeking care. In this way, online visits can ensure clinicians have highly productive days.<\/p>\n<p><em>Support Clients Between Scheduled Visits<br \/>\n<\/em>Just like other areas of medicine, patients with a primary care provider can have acute episodes needing timely intervention. Virtual Care can enhance supportive care by providing greater access to the appropriate clinicians.<\/p>\n<p><em>Extend Service Reach<br \/>\n<\/em>Providers who offer services virtually can expand their reach to new clients beyond their local area, or secure specialty services to better meet a patient\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Timely Assessment<br \/>\n<\/em>When patients visit the ED with a mental health complaint, timely evaluation is important. With prompt assessment, patient management burdens are reduced, and treatment decisions can be made more rapidly.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2aa2de;\"><strong>The GlobalHealth Primary Care Telehealth Solution <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>GlobalHealth\u2019s Virtual Care platform offers primary care professionals a complete virtual clinic to easily launch online services.
