Virtual Visits - Dr. Mark Schultz

On this episode, we're joined by Dr. Mark Schultz to discuss maintaining medical appointments through Virtual Visits. 

A Virtual Visit allows patients to meet with their local health care provider through video chat without ever leaving the comfort and security of their home.

 

Providers can continue routine appointments, prescribe medications as usual, coordinate additional treatment options, and assess whether further care is needed. An in-person follow-up visit can be determined for specialty care, or if other assessments are needed. As technology advances in the areas of wearables and other applications consumers can download, it will open the door for providers to do more virtually.

 

Dr. Schultz even gives us a couple examples of individuals who have done Virtual Visits while working to plant their field!
