Telehealth Software Systems in the Fight Against COVID-19

It has been said that, over the years, that necessity is the mother of invention. Crisis arises which leads to opportunities for innovation so that our lives can be made simpler, far less demanding in our daily busy lives. Telehealth has been the perfect blessing to help us into doing things in a better way, a safer way. Telehealth is defined where advanced technology helps us to receive access to quality healthcare without having to travel far.

The novel coronavirus pandemic has forced us to really open our eyes and see how flawed the public healthcare system really is and to change things for the better. Telehealth app development not only helps to slow the transmission of the highly infectious disease but also helps to keep patients at-risk to stay out waiting rooms thus reducing their physical contact with healthcare facilities. Telehealth has seen a dramatic rate of change since the onset of the global pandemic. Faced with inadequate number of hospital beds, medical equipment’s, ventilators, PPE kits and healthcare workers, the healthcare system has been forced to improvise and innovate in response the infectious covid-19.

Telehealth and its benefits

• Telehealth is one of the fastest growing healthcare sectors in the US and around the globe. This rapid expansion of telehealth is not surprising since recent and detailed studies have been established into the benefits of using telehealth.
• Telehealth software provides access to quality healthcare services for patients so that they do not break social distancing thus helping to prevent the further spread of covid-19.
• Telehealth enables patients who are not covid-19 positive to continue to receive medical care which is especially important to elderly citizens, who are at most risk during this pandemic.
• Telehealth improves the efficiency and productivity of medical and clinical staff so that the attending hospital staff can have more capacity to treat and diagnose more patients.
• Telehealth helps to protect medical staff and clinicians to provide healthcare from a distance without coming into contact with covid-19 positive patients.
• Telehealth helps healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients and thus making more hospital beds available for more serious cases.
• Telehealth and telehealth services help to lower the cost of healthcare by increasing accessibility, improving productivity of healthcare workers and delivering better healthcare outcomes.

Fight against covid-19

Telehealth has been steadily increasing for a few years before the onset of the global coronavirus pandemic. This pandemic has forced healthcare systems, in the nation and across the globe to revamp and completely alter their approach to healthcare. Public healthcare systems were overwhelmed and ill equipped to handle the massive infection rates brought on by this current pandemic. Healthcare facilities and hospitals have been swamped and overburdened by patients who are covid-19 positive and thus creating large containment zones for coronavirus infected patients.

Telehealth reduces the transmission of the virus by providing access to quality healthcare from the comfort of their own home. Patients do not need to break social distancing norms to receive healthcare anymore, they can quickly log onto their healthcare providers’ telehealth software systems services and opt for telehealth services to receive care. Healthcare workers, at the frontline, are protected from covid-19 positive patients as well as the capacity of healthcare staff is increased after using telehealth.
