Nowadays, we are confronted with the pandemic. The unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19 has crippled the world economy and caused a health crisis.
People are stressed out, looking for a safe healthcare provider. While some are struggling with health issues, they are afraid of going to the doctor because of the cost and the possibility of contracting the virus.
During this pandemic, we understand that every family wants to feel safe and secure, especially when they reach out to their healthcare providers. How can we continue to handle our healthcare safely?
Here’s some good news! Telehealth continues to expand worldwide. It is branching out to various medical specialties and continues to deliver treatment to a broader patient population.
A recent study conducted by Pande, et al. (2015), showed that with Telehealth, patients had:
-38% fewer hospital admissions
-31% fewer hospital re-admissions
-63% more likely to spend fewer days in the hospital
-Were more engaged in their healthcare
-Telemedicine reduces healthcare costs
Moreover, a study conducted by Yanamoto, D. (2014) found out that patients could save an average of $126 per commercial Telehealth visit as compared to costs of other healthcare settings, assuming the average Telehealth visit costs only $50.
In fact, replacing in-person acute care services with Telehealth visits reimbursed at the same rate as a doctor’s office visit could save the Medicare program an estimated $45/visit (Yanamoto, 2014).
Furthermore, a study conducted by Irwin, K. (2015) a researcher at Software Advice, indicates that sixty-seven percent (67%) of patients, respond that using telemedicine “somewhat” or “significantly increases” their satisfaction with their medical care.
Consequently, the study suggests that among patients who have not used a telemedicine service, 75 percent express interest in using one in lieu of an in-person medical visit (Irwin, 2015).
The study shows that based on empirical evidence, Telehealth helps ensure that patients receive safe care in their own home when they need it.
Telehealth focuses on offering a solution that can help us stay safe and keep healthcare affordable.
It is high time to accelerate! BlitzBe Products offers Telehealth to deliver customized healthcare through secure technologies that meet a variety of patient needs.
