“Our telehealth system is too clunky.”
“making telehealth bookings and accepting payments is too complicated.”
“the technology is just not there yet.”
“I don’t know if my patients will understand how to do a video-consultation.”
“the Medicare rebates aren’t worth the hassle.”
We understand these sentiments, because we held them too. As medical specialists, we understood the need for telehealth in Australia. We have been doing telehealth consultations for years and witnessed many needlessly complicated setups and have used our experience to create an easy way for doctors and practices to see their own patients online through video-consultations.
In the era of Covid 19, or faced with barriers of distance, mobility or being time-poor, continuity of care is not a problem.
You bill your patients according to your fee schedule. Credit card payment is electronic. No more taking credit card payments over the phone.
You set your availability online, and patients select their appointment within those limits.
As medical specialists, we use this product too. So we need it to work well, just as much as you do!
