What Beyond the Clinic Teaches

Telehealth is not a special health service. Your patients should feel as comfortable seeing you via video visits as they are to see you face-to-face. To introduce video visits successfully, you want to follow a framework that has been proven to lead to a sustainable transformation.

The five most important steps you’ll learn

  1. Vision: start by designing a vision of the service that you want to offer and how it motivates you and the people in your business.
  2. Transformation project: define a project that gives you a clear understanding of timelines and steps to undertake as well as metrics you want to achieve.
  3. People: define a communication plan that gets everyone on board, including staff, clinicians and patients.
  4. Technology: define the workflow and technology components of your service - start simple and give yourself a chance to improve over time.
  5. Sustainability: build a profile for your service, promote it and get a reputation so you can run the modernised service sustainably.
