Difficulties Accessing Specialist Healthcare
The expansion of population into new areas, with its benefits, also leads to an unfortunate consequence. Many people living in remote areas are having difficulties accessing specialist healthcare.
At times, their local practice, despite having the necessary equipment, will require a specialist’s opinion. This can make the difference when it comes to the health outcome. Also, travelling can constitute a challenge for the patients.
Remote access software can help significantly when it comes to these issues. Find out how you can make your life, and in turn your patient’s lives, much easier.
Remote Access for Healthcare
Choosing the right remote access solution can make a world of difference for your healthcare organization. With RealVNC Connect, you can access medical devices remotely, as if you were in front of them.
You can also easily get access to patient data, helping you make diagnoses even if you’re not in the same location.
However, in a field as highly regulated as healthcare, data security is paramount. Not any remote access solution will do. Choosing one that doesn’t ensure your patients’ data is kept secure can have catastrophic consequences.
Security First in Healthcare Remote Access
RealVNC Connect is built by putting data security first. It provides you with security and access, but it also provides the controls and privacy that regulations require. With RealVNC Connect, access to remote specialist care is easy to achieve in complete security.
This is because the software completely adheres to RealVNC’s four security principles:
- You don’t have to trust RealVNC as a company to trust our software and services.
- We do not record your sessions, and data cannot be decrypted now or in the future.
- Every connection is treated as though it is made in a hostile environment.
- The owner of the remote computer ultimately decides who is able to connect.
RealVNC Connect for Remote Specialist Care
Now that, hopefully, security is less of a concern, let’s look at some real-life scenarios. We’ll be looking at how RealVNC Connect can help provide remote specialist care.
We’ll look at the following:
- Real-Time Collaboration
- Remote Diagnostics
- Reduced Patient and Specialist Travel Time
1. Real-Time Collaboration
We recently discussed the benefits of remote access software for telehealth. Real-time collaboration is a huge benefit for patients. Namely, several specialists can access a medical device as if they were in front of it. This leads to very easy real-time collaboration and, in turn, the most accurate diagnosis.
Medical specialists can also securely access patient records, wherever they may be stored. This gives them a much better overview of the patient’s situation.
2. Remote Diagnostics
We recently discussed how RealVNC Connect helps improve patient outcomes in emergency medicine.
A very similar thing happens when it comes to this case. By providing specialists with access to remote medical devices, the patient doesn’t have to travel long distances. The doctor can access the device at the practice closest to the patient, diagnose them and make sure they get the best possible care.
3. Reduced Patient and Specialist Travel Time
The medical specialist can see their medical records and access medical equipment situated close to where the patient lives. This means less travel. It saves time and, very importantly, expensive travel costs.
All these advantages, added together, make remote specialist medical care much more accessible.
