Emotional distress of COVID19 hospital visiting restrictions reduced through video technology

One of the most emotional and stressful aspects of the COVID-19 situation has been the removal of personal contact between patients and their loved ones at the time it is needed most. With swift action and team working, virtual visits have become a reality.

Ardens Healthcare Informatics

As the COVID pandemic upended the normal working pattern of primary care teams, our technology enabled an immediate transition to telephone and video appointments with no diminution of quality, and with the certainty of accurate record keeping. We were able to create new COVID specific templates based on Public Health England (PHE) advice within a few days, and roll these out to our clients. They have been updated whenever new guidance has been produced, and have been used in tens of thousands of appointments, helping to identify new cases, and particularly vulnerable groups for shielding.
