The Future of Healthcare and Centura –

During this incredibly difficult time, Centura has been very committed to job security for providers and staff. 

Many people are still facing big challenges in the coming weeks both at work and at home. 

As a primary care practice, we are still vital to the healthcare system, which puts us in a good position

 

One way we can serve our patients improve revenue for our system is through Telehealth visits

• Phone visits do not generate significant revenue but Amwell or other video visits are paid like normal office visits

                                -Encourage pts to schedule Amwell visits

               

 

Scheduling and Telehealth Visits – Troubleshooting

 

• How can we clarify which providers are in clinic physically vs doing telehealth visits?
• Top of the Epic schedule will say “TELEHEALTH ONLY” but anyone scheduling visits needs to look for that
• MAs can help move in-person visits to the schedules of providers physically in clinic
• Providers in individual pods can look at clinic schedules to determine who will be on site, communicate to Alberta

• 1-2 providers per pod or clinic per day including 1 faculty or clinical faculty? What do you think will work best?

         Any other ideas/questions?

 

Encouraging Patients to do Telehealth Visits

• If patients call for an appointment and requests a telephone visit rather than a video/telehealth visit, how can we encourage them to do a video visit?
• Quality of video visits is better, gives us better clinical information
• If they have a phone or computer we can help them get set up
• Any other ideas?
