You have to know when to delegate down if you want to rise up!

The evolution in the medical industry is more rapid than before. As a medical professional, finding innovative yet time saving ways to grow the practice has become cardinal. Having said that, the load is also increasing on doctors daily. We know that doctors are super busy professionals and have to deal with several aspects of patients, but nowadays, doctors spend more than expected % of their day on the computer doing admin work.

The direct solution to this trouble is ….

Did you think of Transcript?

Well we are talking about Virtual Medical Assistance!

Why is Virtual Medical Assistance better than Transcript ? Let us have a look at the 7 differentiating points that will answer this question

Virtual Medical Assistance
  1. TIME Effective

A virtual medical assistant operates in real time, updates the information faster & with utmost precision.

2. Memory game

During the transcription process, a doctor needs to recall the conversation as an additional task. VMA happens in real time and does not require you to repeat any activity.

3. Real time record

Chances of forgetting a few points from the conversation are high, especially in a complicated case, making it difficult to keep a historic record. But with Virtual Medical Assistance it is less likely for that to happen since the updates are done in real time making it easy for a doctor to simply verify.

4. Extra effort

Transcript demands additional time to record the interaction and then make notes of it. VMA does it for you!

5. Patient’s convenience

In the transcription process, the patient data is shared with him/her after the interaction is recorded, transcripted, quality checked, verified from the concerned doctor and then sent! Lengthy enough? With VMA, all these tasks are happening simultaneously enabling patients to get his/her records immediately (at least in desired time).

6. Productivity

Transcription is time consuming thus limiting the practice. Once a VMA is on board, a doctor’s redundant work is offloaded enabling him to see more patients.

7. Revenue

Well, if you consider investment, transcript is sure cheaper, comparatively! But ROI is even important right? In a transcription process, revenue doesn’t increase as the number of patients which can be seen in a day gets limited. Talking about Virtual Medical Assistance, although a little expensive, the expense per patient can be less drastically if more patients are seen in a day; simple ROI logic!

Wrapping up

#1 reason to consider VMA is -

Free time to take care of yourself!

And still increase your clinic’s revenue without compromising on your work-life balance.

Most doctors lose track of their health while taking care of others. Considering the working hours and responsibilities, rest is equally essential for your body and mind. But when you sit back to relax, a number of work-related things flash before your eyes, right? So by taking virtual medical assistant services, you can transfer your workload to a person actually dedicated for the extra tasks you do.
