Skype is known by most as a way to keep in touch with friends, family and co-workers. But health professionals are using Skype a bit differently! By using Skype to consult with patients and other healthcare professionals, healthcare communication has certainly been enhanced in many ways.
Uses For Skype in Healthcare
Here are a few ways doctors are using Skype to learn, educate and communicate:
- Consulting with patients who cannot necessarily travel to a practice. Whether it be because they live in a rural area, are immobile or cannot travel due to sever weather conditions.
- Holding one-on-one or group therapy sessions
- Providing first aid video instructions
- Hosting educational seminars for doctors
