The coronavirus pandemic has boosted telehealth—here’s how existing spaces can support virtual visits: ForbesFrontlines
$1,734 and the average doctor’s visit is $149, while the average telehealth visit costs $79. Care is also much faster. Since there’s no travel required and shorter wait times, consultations are streamlined. Patients can take less time away from work or home duties and are not as exposed to delays. This is also a cost savings to employers as employees do not have to take hours off for a clinic visit.
In addition to providing benefits for patients, telehealth visits also make life easier for healthcare providers. Telehealth consultations are typically 20% shorter than traditional in-person appointments, which can allow providers to see additional patients. Unused exam rooms can be converted to support higher revenue generating procedural care, and telehealth also lowers caregivers’ exposure to illnesses.
Dedicated rooms for virtual health visits on a corporate campus, for example, would provide patient convenience, privacy and time savings, and require less square footage than a more traditional health clinic. A wellness room within an office can easily be converted into a telehealth room with modest financial investment, requiring nothing more than good lighting, acoustical separation, a computer with a decent sized monitor and an internet and phone connection.
