Learn about the significant impact remote care has had on patients, and how easy it is to become comfortable with being cared for from your home.
1. Geographical Accessibility & Scheduling Availability For All
Becoming comfortable with remote care,whether through telemedicine or virtual healthplatforms, offers a myriad of benefits worth considering. Patients no longer need to navigate through traffic or wait in crowded waiting rooms; instead, they can access medical consultations from the comfort of their homes.
This accessibility is particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility issues, those living in areas with limited healthcare facilities, or even busy professionals who may struggle to find time for in-person appointments. Fizio’s computer vision allows for patients to access their exercises, treatment plan, and their analytical feedback anywhere with the help of a laptop, smartphone, or tablet.
2. Regular check-ups & Convenient Scheduling Options
Remote care enhances convenience and flexibility. Appointments can be scheduled at times that suit both patients and healthcare providers, this flexibility not only improves patient satisfaction but also helps in ensuring regular medical check-ups and consultations are not missed due to logistical challenges. Fizio’s goal is to make sure patients are completing their treatments to effectively see and experience the results of continuous effort, and lay off on the pain or uncomfortable sensation in certain areas.
3. Continuity of Care & Consistent Results
Remote care promotes continuity of care.
Our patients can consult with our trained healthcare providers regardless of physical location, which is particularly advantageous for individuals with chronic conditions requiring ongoing monitoring and management. Based on a study, 94% of patients were satisfied with their virtual physical therapy care, and 92% stated they would be willing to attend another remote physical therapy session. It is important to us that our patients are comfortable and have a desire to continue their treatment plan regardless of the severity of an injury. By promoting our services online, we entrust our providers to care for them and for our patients to benefit from the results after consistently training and making sure their exercises are being completed. Continuity can also lead to better health outcomes as it facilitates a closer patient-provider relationship built on trust and familiarity over time. Fizio cares about the familiarity our patients have with our providers, to ensure adequate communication, and trustworthy care between patient and provider.
4. Fee-for-Service Plans, Cost Savings
Overall, remote care can contribute to cost savings. By reducing the need for physical infrastructure and administrative overhead associated with in-person visits, healthcare providers are able to offer more cost-effective services. Fizio offers fee-for-service plans which means you will pay for the service assigned to you, in an affordable manner. With our computer vision program, you have professional guidance and support. This practice empowers our patients and providers to actively engage in their recovery process, helping them achieve their medical goals with greater ease and efficiency than ever before.
What To Expect From a Virtual Physical Therapy Session
As a patient seeking treatment from virtual physical therapist professionals online, you will need accessibility to a computer, phone, or tablet to join your schedule appointments and exercises. Make sure to be in an open and appropriate environment so your PT can see all of your virtual movements, and exchange effective communication.
Before the session, make sure you have reliable internet and a working camera! Our services guide you through the treatment exercises, but it is always convenient to be in a larger open space where you can move freely.
