Telehealth has become an increasingly important tool for improving patient engagement. Fortunately, there are several approaches that healthcare providers can use to make telehealth communications more engaging and provide patients convenient access to care, enabling them to receive the care they need without leaving their homes. This blog will highlight what healthcare providers must do to obtain patient engagement to the fullest.
- Provide education and resources: Patients must be educated and informed about the telehealth process and what to expect from their telehealth visit. Provide resources such as videos, brochures, or webinars to help them better understand the process.
- Maintain frequent communication: Regularly communicate with patients to keep them engaged and updated on their progress. Through text messages, emails, or phone calls to remind them about upcoming appointments and lab results.
- Leverage video conferencing: Leverage video conferencing technology to create a more personal connection and help patients feel comfortable with Telehealth.
- Utilize patient portals: Utilize patient portals to give patients access to their medical records, appointment reminders, and health tracking.
- Additional services: Offer other services, such as nutrition, fitness coaching, or mental health counseling, to keep patients engaged and motivated to stay healthy.
- Follow up: Follow up with the patient to ensure their questions are answered and check their progress. It helps the patient feel connected and shows that you are investing in their health.
