Willis-Knighton Physician Network clinics have been open during this COVID-19 outbreak. However, they realize that many patients prefer not to be seen in person. Now more than 70 of these clinics are offering a telehealth virtual visit for existing patients whose records are accessible by the physicians.
A virtual visit can take place using either an iPhone or android cell phone equipped with a camera and audio.
“Our doctors put patients as their No. 1 priority and want to be available during this time,” said Bruce Stroud, corporate administrator of the Willis-Knighton Physician Network. “To help them we have pushed ahead efforts that were already in place to begin a telehealth option. It’s another innovative option Willis-Knighton is providing our patients.”
Clinics offering the service have placed instructions on websites. Following the instructions, a patient will download an app for Microsoft Teams that will allow a secure connection for the visit. Many minor health conditions can easily be handled through telehealth.
