A Modern Workplace: Virtual Patient Care
The recent pandemic has changed how health organizations approach virtual health and remote monitoring to provide patients with the best care and stay agile in a rapidly changing industry. After the challenges put forth by the pandemic, patients need and expect a seamless care experience, both virtual or in-person. It has become a significant priority for healthcare organizations to support patients through virtual patient care and remote monitoring. Providers need to find new ways to stay engaged with patients virtually and securely.
With Microsoft Teams, health team members can streamline remote care with virtual visits and collaboration.
Virtual visits in Teams allow healthcare teams to:
Easily schedule and run virtual visits from anywhere, on any device.
Provide seamless experiences by enabling clinicians and patients to schedule and launch virtual visits, whether in Teams or from within the Epic EHR.
EHR integration is very simple and lets clinicians schedule and launch EHR-connected visits in Teams.
Establish patient trust by integrating into existing workflows and protecting sensitive patient data to improve collaboration.
Health teams can easily set up virtual visits and help patients stay up-to-date with reminders and a mobile experience that is easy to use and allows patients to join virtual visits without the need to download extra apps.
Extend care to more patients by increasing accessibility to care and empowering patients to be more active in their healthcare.
Care team members can easily schedule visits and consults across departments, and patients can schedule their appointments themselves with Bookings allowing maximum flexibility.
Data Protection for Virtual Health
Microsoft Teams enables secure communication and collaboration with people outside of your organization through external access and guest access.
External access helps care team members to find, call, and chat with patients and users in other domains with a secure authenticated connection. Users have control over what domains are allowed and which are blocked.
Guest access helps care team members add guests to their teams using the email addresses of trusted individuals outside the organization. Workers can collaborate with guests the same way as with other users within the organization while still being able to control and limit guest access to the organization’s data.
Microsoft’s solution gives an opportunity for data to flow between all points of care securely and continues to improve the experiences of patients and health outcomes.
