This is how Body Active Physiotherapy implemented online bookings for the first time with MyHealth1st.
This is how Paul Saunders, psychologist, and his work changed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
MyHealth1st Diary allows practices and practitioners that don’t utilise a Practice Management System to set their availability for online bookings, as well as other important practice information
Your practice profile is the place to give your practice a personality and point of difference with your competitors. Having a compelling practice profile, and photos of practitioners to give the practice a relatable human face, can be the difference between a patient choosing your practice or going somewhere else.
In addition to being able to set default unavailable times in the MyHealthDiary, practitioners can also block individual times in their diary, ensuring that no appointments can be booked in certain slots.
MyHealthDiary allows practices and practitioners that utilise a Practice Management System which has not yet been integrated with MyHealth1st to set their availability for online bookings, block unavailable times, as well as enter other important practice information.
Australia reacted quickly and decisively in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, instituting lockdowns and strict social distancing measures. This action has had two palpable effects - limiting the number of COVID-19 cases experienced in the country and driving the Australian population online in numbers never seen before. The Internet has long been an integral part of modern Australian life, but the lockdown has made it an essential service, with people working, attending classes and shopping online more than ever.
Telehealth is currently available to all Australians, allowing them to access healthcare remotely. In many ways, Australians are early adopters of technology. We are a well connected nation when it comes to Internet access with more mobile accounts in the country than there are people. When it comes to telehealth, however, we haven’t done as well, with many healthcare practices conducting telehealth appointments just over the telephone instead.
Between May 14 and 24, 2020 a representative sample of 2,235 GPs and specialist practitioners completed the MABEL (Medicine in Australia: Balancing Employment and Life) COVID-19 Short Online Survey. This survey gauges a number of work and life factors for medical professionals, including finances, stress, support, how the pandemic has affected practice finances and the usage of telehealth.
Thanks to the secure integrations between MyHealth1st and Coviu, healthcare professionals can now add a Coviu waiting area or room link to their Telehealth appointments through MyHealth1st.
In most cases, a person’s first port of call for their healthcare journey will be to a GP. General Practitioners offer a wide range of services and knowledge that can be invaluable when it comes to diagnosing or identifying problems but may lack the specific expertise to deal with them.
Resetting your MyHealth1st password is quick and easy.
AHPRA (the Australian Healthcare Practitioner Regulatory Agency) has strict guidelines when it comes to reviews for medical practices and professionals. Selective editing of reviews is strictly prohibited, as is using a review in marketing or advertising.
MyHealthDiary provides an option for practitioner to synchronize their online diary directly to their Google, Outlook or Mac calendars. The iCal functionality lets practitioner use their personal calendar without having to login to the MyHealth1st dashboard to see their online bookings.
