Are you operating a multi-mode practice?
When the pandemic started months ago, health practitioners were the first to adapt and innovate to keep treating patients - without even realising it, you created a more efficient and inclusive way to treat patients: the multi-mode practice.
What's a multi-mode practice?
It's pretty simple, if you have a mix of face-to-face, phone, and telehealth appointments, you're operating a multi-mode practice.
Why is this important? Multi-mode practices are here to stay. Even after we have a vaccine for COVID-19 and things do go back to "normal", practitioners and patients have discovered a new normal for treatment, with fewer limitations and endless possibilities.
Multi-mode is good for business
Multi-mode practices are not only keeping treatment business as usual during difficult times, but they've proven to be a great business strategy. Many practitioners are now having the opportunity to grow their practices like never before, without increasing costs with multiple locations, staff or a bigger waiting room.
Not to mention being able to make healthcare better for more people everywhere.
