Staying in Touch With Patients Over the Summer

Summer is here. The kids are out of school, you’ve got your vacations booked, but what about your patients? It’s common for doctors and their patients to travel for the summer but how are you going to ensure that you can stay connected with patients during these next few months? Remote patient care might be your best bet.

Remote patient care can be defined as the set of tools that allow healthcare providers to monitor, assess and prescribe patients care, digitally, rather than requiring an in-office visit to stay in touch with the patient between encounters and outside the four walls of the clinic.

Sounds interesting but don’t know where to begin? Here’s how you can make sure you can stay in touch with your patients over the summer with BodySite remote patient care solutions…

Automate Your Patient’s Care

If you’re going to be out of office for some time, the best way to make sure that patients can access your care is by setting them up on an automated patient education program. An automated patient education program allows you to prescribe patients a daily plan, delivered to the patient’s email and app, that includes care instructions, tasks, recipes, and more.

Patients can easily give up when they’re not given daily guidance. But you can avoid that.  Remove patient confusion, questions and a potential sense of isolation when tackling their specific health issue by arming patients with the tools they need.  For example, if a patient needs to lose weight this summer, you can set them up on a Clean 28 healthy eating program.

If you need something more specific to a patient’s chronic condition or situation, BodySite has 60+ customizable wellness plans for lifestyle guidance and patient care that can be deployed to patients in seconds. Plans can last anywhere from a week, to 30 days, to 90 days, and beyond.

Whatever your care instructions may be, automating those care instructions allows you and your patients to have peace of mind, knowing that they have an action plan, prescribed by you.

Remote Care From Anywhere: The Pool, The Beach, The Airport…

If you often feel like you can’t take a break or a “real vacation” because you want to always be there for your patients, there is a simple solution.  You CAN be there for them — but you don’t have to be in the office. Remote patient care allows you to monitor your patients wherever you are and no matter where they are.

Picture this, while you’re sipping a piña colada in the Bahamas, your patient is being given daily guidance, to-do’s, recipes, exercises and more. And you don’t have to lift a finger, unless you want to check in to see their progress.

As long as you have internet access you can automate care and instantly measure the progress of your patient. So book that trip you’ve been dreaming about!

HIPAA Compliant Communication Tools

Need to hop on a telemedicine visit with your patient remotely? No problem. BodySite is equipped with HIPAA compliant communication tools. So you can connect with patients on the go and feel secure doing so.

Many telemedicine clinics are stand-alone and you’re forced to use other programs to track patient progress. BodySite has an entire suite of remote patient care tools included all under one monthly subscription.

Remote Patient Monitoring and Connected Health Devices

It’s likely that your patients are already using connected health devices such as Fitbit, Oura Ring, Apple Health and more. BodySite is integrated with these devices, so while your patient is on a mountain hike this summer you can see all of their activity data in real time.

Using our API these devices seamlessly integrate inside of the BodySite HIPAA compliant platform, so you and your patients can watch as they meet and exceed their goals this summer.

This is in addition to BodySite’s native food tracking and body tracking functionalities. Patient’s can instantly track what they eat, biometric data activity and more right inside their app. No more guess work for you or your patients.
