Video conferencing has been around for years, but since COVID struck, it has become one of the most favorable ways for doctors to meet with their patients. Why? Because no one has to leave their home. It’s efficient for both parties, as doctors can now choose to check up with their patients from anywhere. 

Here are some reasons why video conferencing makes patient check ups more efficient: 

• Patients attend their appointments more because of digital reminder notifications.
• Video therapy helps avoid patients being late due to traffic or other travel difficulties which disabled people are more prone to.
• Doctors seeing sick patients often now need to wear masks, stay 6 feet away from their patients, and may feel a natural urge to rush their appointments to avoid viral contact.
• Video meetings allows you to speak with your patient without masks restricting your communication making it easier to understand what you’re saying, and not rush.
• According to multiple studies, people are more honest through online communication than in-person communication. (Can do a whole other microblog on this)

Video meetings comes with an array of benefits, and this is probably the most important one. Efficiency. The world is becoming more and more digital by the day, so many doctors now have teletherapy as an option for their patients because they’ve realized just how efficient it is, for them and their patients.
