A telemedicine platform is a software solution that brings together all the necessary technology which allows healthcare providers to remotely evaluate, diagnose and treat patients. Note that while telehealth is actually broader in scope compared to telemedicine, both telehealth and telemedicine are typically used interchangeably. Hence telehealth software or telehealth platform typically refer to atelemedicine software platform.

While interactive video consultations are currently the most common form of telemedicine, telemedicine technology platforms are typically broader in scope. They typically cover all aspects of patient online consultations and also act as the digital front-door for your healthcare organization.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A TELEMEDICINE SOFTWARE PLATFORM? As the shift of healthcare services from offline to virtual gathers pace, patients, providers and healthcare organisations stand to reap the benefits.

1. BETTER WORK LIFE BALANCE

Telemedicine helps healthcare providers achieve a better level of work life balance. The fact that they can effectively evaluate and treat patients remotely, gives them the confidence to unchain themselves from the hospital. Providers get better control over their schedules and can possibly adjust their online consultations in accordance to their availability. Additionally telemedicine software for doctors that provides asynchronous telemedicine capabilities can be extremely beneficial in allowing them to provide the necessary care to patients without the need for real time consultations.

2. BETTER INSIGHT INTO PATIENTS’ LIVES

Online visits allow providers to gain a better understanding of the patient's home environment and these insights can help in more effective treatment.

TELEMEDICINE SOFTWARE BENEFITS FOR PATIENTS

TELEMEDICINE SOFTWARE BENEFITS FOR HOSPITALS AND BUSINESSES

1. BETTER ACCESSIBILITY

1. NEW HEALTHCARE SERVICES

2. ACCESS TO SPECIALISTS

Telemedicine is more than interactive video calls. With the right telemedicine software platform, healthcare organisations can create new service offerings that involve asynchronous telemedicine models like text consultations and remote patient monitoring. Many hospitals and healthcare startups are launching these services today, reaping the benefits while future proofing their business.

2. GENERATE SUBSCRIPTION REVENUES

Digital care plans with subscription billing can open up subscription billing and create a recurring payment stream which offer a significantly higher ROI than in-person visits.

3. INCREASE REVENUES

With the right telemedicine software, hospitals, clinics and healthcare startups will be able to implement multi-modal care, blending offline and online visits. Thereby they can increase the number of patient consultations and revenues.

4. REDUCED OVERHEAD

Online visits also help reduce office overheads and the best telemedicine platforms typically provide extensive digital front door capabilities that can help improve efficiency with better workflows.

5. BETTER HEALTHCARE OUTCOMES

With more frequent patient engagement, telemedicine software solutions help drive significant improvement in healthcare outcomes, value based care metrics and patient satisfaction levels.

5. BETTER HEALTHCARE OUTCOMES

Traditional healthcare businesses like hospitals and clinics and small/medium healthcare startups/services are now facing off against venture funded health startups that burn through large piles of cash to acquire patients. A well-developed telemedicine web and mobile platform can help level the playing field, allowing the incumbents to provide the same services without having to compromise on their margins.

The ‘tele’ part of telemedicine has truly been a game changer in healthcare. It has opened up a world of care options to patients wherever they are.

For patients with serious conditions, physically travelling to meet a specialist might not be a viable option.

Telemedicine helps these patients get the care they need at the right time.

3. CONVENIENCE

A visit to the doctor would typically require a change in the patients daily routine. Work schedules, caregiver routines or other activities are disrupted to make the time for the visit. Virtual telemedicine visits help minimise this disruption and patients love the convenience.

4. REDUCE COSTS

A visit to the doctor involves costs - transportation and associated costs. Telemedicine visits done from the comfort of the patients home help eliminate these.

5. A DIGITAL DOOR OF CONVENIENCE

Some telemedicine applications handle a range of digital front door use cases. This provides patients with a single online entry point for everything related to their health and helps simplify their interactions.

6. CARE PLANS

The top telemedicine software solutions will provide options for care plans that are tailor made for wellness and preventive care packages, post surgery and chronic care patients. The frequent patient engagement translates into better healthcare outcomes.
