Housecalls to Establish Connection, Telemedicine to Increase Efficiency

(Pictures below…)

Just over a year ago I wrote about mixing telemedicine with in person visits. 15 months into my new practice, I see very plainly how making the initial visit and maybe a few more as in-person housecalls, I am able to establish a stronger connection and a deeper understanding of my patients and their circumstances than I did in my office based practice.

Now, I am blessed to do more and more of my follow-up visits using the technology of video visits. And we are adding new technology to let both our doctors and our patients listen to heart sounds together in real time, for example.
