New efficiencies and productivity of care delivery in this digital world are brought about by continuously evolving innovations in telehealth technologies. Virtual platforms have been a part of how we care at Nevada OMS while proud to present video consultation services for an experience that is absolutely new for patients, as caring, progressive, and empathetic doctors do.
Online visits also save those requesting post-op follow-ups, or being given treatment plan explanations, and also accessing a new patient exam from travel costs and time lost at work or away from family. Patients feel comfortable in their own homes as they can enjoy the same expert evaluation that one would have in a doctor’s office.
Consultation Process:
New patients fill out detailed online intake forms, including concerns, medical history, and what procedures they want.
The online calendar creates an appointment, and easy video links are automatically sent to the patients.
Physicians connect live audio/visual meetings using high-definition cameras and microphones.
Consent forms are finalized electronically after a conversation with a doctor.
Doctors can use their smartphone’s camera to do a visual examination of the mouth, its teeth, and surrounding structures by instructing them on an on-screen basis.
Telehealth simplifies any need for multiple referrals, second opinions, and presurgical planning consultations to review imaging scans to attempt to repair jaw deformities, remove wisdom teeth, or take biopsies. Interactive sharing of screens enables both parties to point out the specifics of treatment.
Follow-ups are a great use of telehealth as they are often necessary for monitoring incision sites or swelling post-op, without having to take time off of recovery. By photo, the patient demonstrates progress with healing and receives feedback on adjustments to exercises, diet, or activity levels.
With all communications being HIPAA compliant to privacy protections, waiting rooms, travel commitments, and time off work cease to exist with the convenience of video conferencing. Now, patients choosing Nevada OMS will have the empowerment to get their questions answered quickly without waiting for an in-person slot.
Our constant focus will be on using the highest virtual technology standards that provide portal access to our patients 24/7 to review radiographs, discharge instructions, billing, and more.
Tech-savvy millennials and Baby Boomers alike will look to options that combine a need for convenience with personalization, along with oral wellness goals. Nevada OMS continues to strive to provide innovative solutions that will drive your comprehensive care experience.
