Unpredictable weather events and technology outages can disrupt care at crucial moments. Health systems with well-developed disaster management plans and solid communication strategies can seamlessly prevent missed visits by leveraging an easy-to-use, scalable telehealth platform.
Preparation efforts paid off for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. The system saw an 187% increase in telemedicine activity after a severe weather event impacted local patients and providers. Through proactive communications, UAMS shifted all in-person patient visits to virtual, resulting in zero missed appointments during the period of severe weather.
