Ziqitza Healthcare ltd - How to make Telehealth Services Easier and More Accessible
                     
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought 
telemedicine to the forefront of healthcare, 
catapulting what was once a niche practice into 
the mainstream. However, telemedicine's 
ultimate success will be largely determined by 
technology, including how comfortable patients 
are with the procedure, the digital divide that 
currently prevents many doctors from accessing 
telehealth services, and their resistance to the 
idea that doctors can't physically examine 
patients.
Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd, one of India’s leading emergency 
healthcare service providers remarks that while well-funded 
academic medical facilities have substantially invested in gear, 
software, help-desk personnel, and social-equity programmes, 
smaller practices with fewer resources are lagging behind 
when it comes to offering telemedicine. For disadvantaged 
populations including the underprivileged and patients in 
remote areas, health systems strive to enhance access to 
telemedicine. Lack of faith in the procedure, especially among 
patients who haven't had a telemedicine consultation, is 
another problem preventing some patients from progressing.
Telehealth reduces the gap between the patients and the 
healthcare service providers, however, Ziqitza says that the 
barriers that hinders the adoption of telehealth services must 
be addressed.
User-friendly Technology: One of the most significant barriers 
to effective telemedicine is clumsy technology. To make your 
telehealth programme inclusive, keep technology simple and 
integrated. The more seamlessly virtual visits are integrated 
with scheduling and billing, the more it would be easier to use. 
Ziqitza healthcare says that we also need to take technology 
access into account. Elderly patients, people from lower 
socioeconomic backgrounds, and people who live in remote 
locations might not have access to cellphones or even the 
internet. Some people might not be native English speakers. 
Think about what might make virtual care more accessible to 
these patients when considering inclusive telemedicine. This 
can entail providing a desktop version in addition to an app, 
emailing resources prior to a visit to account for a slow 
connection, or spending money on translation to enable more 
fluid dialogue.

Propagate Flexible Mindset: We may use telemedicine to enhance 
treatment in a way that yields long-lasting outcomes by adopting a 
flexible mentality and a better grasp of the patient experience.  
According to Ziqitza Limited, telemedicine allows healthcare 
professionals the chance to share information and patient stories that 
enable prolonged, self-directed treatment for people who can't easily 
get in-person care.
 
Accepting Limitations of Telemedicine: According to ZHL Rajasthan, 
making telehealth accessible and comprehending its limits go hand in 
hand. Patients in underprivileged places now have better access to 
mental healthcare because of telemedicine, but physicians must also 
know when distant care is inappropriate. Home environments can be 
too distracting for some patients to concentrate on their treatment. In 
a digital setting, it could be challenging for some people to develop 
trust in the physician and the treatment plan. Some patients might not 
benefit as well from virtual care due to underlying diseases or 
problems with substance use.
According to Ziqitza Limited Rajasthan, these restrictions 
highlight the significance of taking the requirements of patients in 
marginalised communities into account while creating a long-
term telehealth service. Although remote care is a fantastic place 
to start with treatment, it won't be the only option for all 
patients. The learning process for providers will include 
understanding when to demand in-person consultation.
 
In areas with a shortage of medical professionals, telehealth can 
help. For instance, specialised healthcare services are typically 
lacking in rural locations. Travelling to a metropolis for treatment 
can be expensive and time-consuming (potentially hours of 
driving, gas and parking costs and the cost of staying overnight 
near a health care centre). This method makes it impossible for 
patients who are unable to drive to obtain healthcare; as a result, 
many patients from rural areas receive subpar care.
Medical professionals are in low supply in rural 
areas, and many patients lack the resources or 
means of transportation to travel far from their 
homes to receive care. Telehealth services in these 
situations help link healthcare professionals with 
the specialists their patients might require. A doctor 
can arrange a videoconference with a specialist to 
receive care locally rather than sending a patient to 
an out-of-town facility. Telehealth systems can 
enable patients to receive treatment for minor 
issues, such as viruses and colds, without having to 
visit the doctor's office in areas where there are no 
doctors at all.
