Telehealth Success: Your Scheduler is the Key

by | Apr 20, 2020

COVID-19 has changed healthcare as we knew it. For better or worse it’s forced many in healthcare to become telehealth experts overnight.

As I write this article, getting as many of your patients as possible to use telehealth is critical to not only the health of your patient population, but to the financial health of your practice.

More than ever before, your scheduler is now the key point person in driving patient engagement, patient retention, and sustainable revenue. That’s because the scheduler’s duties and responsibilities need to expand into new areas and tasks for a practice to successfully operate its telehealth-based revenue stream.
