It’s a myth that seniors aren’t interested in technology or that they don’t want to find new ways to stay connected. Seniors video chat with grandkids, they use smart appliances in their homes, and they wear smart, wearable devices. In fact, many new smart devices have been directly marketed toward seniors to keep them connected with loved ones, or to help them stay safe if they live alone.
One thing about 2020 is certain: telehealth is here to stay. Its use is growing exponentially, regardless of patient age, location and language. Your clinic or healthcare practice needs to choose a telehealth platform that is more than just video conferencing. Otherwise, you’ll waste time double entering data, you’ll lose patient and provider trust due to security breaches, and you’ll miss out on opportunities to create a custom, welcoming digital front door for your patients.

Integration has long been a buzz word in the tech industry. The concept of integration in healthcare isn’t new, either. In fact, some EHRs offer a plethora of integrations, but they come at great expense. Yet the practice of integration—in a painless, affordable way—seems like an unattainable goal, especially when it comes to virtual care until now.
