One Place and SIA Group Partner with EZaccessMD to Bring Mobile Health Services to Employees’ Homes
Here at EZaccessMD, we like to party. Today we are celebrating the commitment our employees constantly exhibit to make the lives of our patients FREE and EZ.
It was already the trend before 2020, but with COVID-19 came a whole new level of consumers using the convenience of technology to bring their lifestyle to them. Instead of traveling out, groceries are delivered to your front door, movies can be streamed through your phone, you can attend team meetings from the comfort of your kitchen table, and now you can also experience doctor’s visits through the more than 80 new telemedicine services approved by the federal government.
Telemedicine is Here to Stay
Mobile X-rays Make Healthcare Imaging Comfortable & Convenient
Amazon announced that a telemedicine service – named Amazon Care – had been piloted for the past eighteen months with its Washington employees.
Americans are welcoming telemedicine benefits from their employers as a crucial option for continued quality healthcare. Today, many employees see telemedicine as a vital component to maintaining their health, and in turn, being a happy, product employee.
Healthcare has experienced a shift, and telehealth is now being relied on for essential care. While traditional telemedicine has provided some access, it is not a perfect virtual care model and creating healthy communities not determined by digital access, cost, and distance has remained a guiding priority and core value of American Public Health Association. To create on-demand, cost-effective healthcare, current virtual care providers must consider the strain virtual-only care models place on healthcare budgets, patients, employers, and the overall healthcare system.
During the last year, most Americans needed a healthcare visit, and due to the pandemic, most had at least one virtual doctor visit.
