Abstract

In the dynamic healthcare landscape, digital tools play a pivotal role in elevating medical practices. This talk delves into the integration of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Telehealth, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, ChatGPT and Virtual ancillary staff, therapists, and medical assistants as key components in digitally transforming healthcare operations.

Illustrating Enara health's digital strategy, the talk also highlights the impact of other leading RPM platforms like Optimize Health, Cadence Solutions, HealthSnap, Athelas, Health Recovery Solutions, Accuhealth, and TimeDoc Health in improving healthcare accessibility. These platforms allow clinics to digitally extend themselves, eliminating geographically associated costs with real-time data tracking and streamlined communication. The shift to digital platforms represents a strategic, cost-saving initiative. Leveraging these tools streamlines operations, automates tasks, and enhances productivity, resulting in substantial operational cost reductions.

Telehealth emerges as a pivotal solution, providing patients with convenient access to healthcare services from home while reducing providers' physical office space costs. Simultaneously, Virtual Assistant staffing contributes significantly to cost savings for physician business owners by eliminating the need for a physical office presence. Adding therapists to our virtual startup also means patients can receive comprehensive care in one place, minimizing the need for external consultations. Lastly, using ChatGPT can assist physicians by handling tasks suitable for AI solutions, making their workload more manageable.

The paper advocates for the strategic adoption of these digital solutions to optimize healthcare operations, improve customer satisfaction, and foster sustainable business growth in the evolving healthcare landscape.

医疗保健领域的数字化转型:优化运营,实现可持续增长
在充满活力的医疗保健领域,数字工具在提升医疗实践水平方面发挥着举足轻重的作用。本讲座深入探讨了远程患者监护(RPM)、远程医疗、客户关系管理(CRM)系统、ChatGPT 和虚拟辅助人员、治疗师和医疗助理的整合,将其作为数字化医疗运营转型的关键组成部分。本讲座阐述了 Enara Health 的数字化战略,还强调了其他领先的 RPM 平台(如 Optimize Health、Cadence Solutions、HealthSnap、Athelas、Health Recovery Solutions、Accuhealth 和 TimeDoc Health)在改善医疗服务可及性方面的影响。这些平台允许诊所进行数字化扩展,通过实时数据跟踪和简化通信消除与地理位置相关的成本。向数字平台的转变是一项战略性的成本节约举措。远程医疗是一个重要的解决方案,它为患者提供了从家中获得医疗服务的便利,同时降低了医疗服务提供者的实际办公空间成本。与此同时,虚拟助理人员的配备也大大节省了医生企业主的成本,因为他们无需在实体办公室办公。在我们的虚拟初创公司中加入治疗师还意味着患者可以在一个地方接受全面的护理,最大限度地减少对外部咨询的需求。最后,使用 ChatGPT 可以协助医生处理适合人工智能解决方案的任务,使他们的工作量更易于管理。本文提倡战略性地采用这些数字解决方案,以优化医疗保健运营,提高客户满意度,并在不断变化的医疗保健环境中促进可持续的业务增长。

期刊介绍: Journal of the National Medical Association, the official journal of the National Medical Association, is a peer-reviewed publication whose purpose is to address medical care disparities of persons of African descent. The Journal of the National Medical Association is focused on specialized clinical research activities related to the health problems of African Americans and other minority groups. Special emphasis is placed on the application of medical science to improve the healthcare of underserved populations both in the United States and abroad. The Journal has the following objectives: (1) to expand the base of original peer-reviewed literature and the quality of that research on the topic of minority health; (2) to provide greater dissemination of this research; (3) to offer appropriate and timely recognition of the significant contributions of physicians who serve these populations; and (4) to promote engagement by member and non-member physicians in the overall goals and objectives of the National Medical Association.
