How Collaboration Tools Bring Doctors and Patients Closer

How Collaboration Tools Bring Doctors and Patients Closer

As virtual communication tools advance and become more prevalent among providers, it’s no surprise that patients expect a high standard when speaking with physicians from afar, especially during high-stress situations where the lives of loved ones could be at stake.

Healthcare leaders have become receptive to these needs, and the majority of them — 85 percent — say that digital innovation is tied to their long-term strategies to improve patient care, according to a 2017 report by the American Hospital Association and AVIA.

Telemedicine is a major component of that strategy. In a separate piece of research, the AHA states that 76 percent of U.S. hospitals currently connect with patients at a distance using video and other technologies. That’s up from 35 percent in 2010.
