What is Q-Consultation Lite used for?
Q-Consultation Lite can be used for a variety of use cases. Here’s a snapshot of how some existing healthcare customers have put it to use.
Acute Patient Care
Q-Consultation has been used to support doctors working in acute patient care. During the pandemic when social distancing was a must, especially in an acute care setting, one group of doctors relied on Q-Consultation for secure communication with healthcare professionals and their patient’s relatives who were unable to attend in-person consultations. What’s more, that app was integrated into the hospital's own EHR, ensuring that chat history and notes were easily accessed and transferrable.
Home Care
Q-Consultation is an ideal solution for supporting the needs of a Home Care Service. For patients unable to travel easily for in-person healthcare visits, healthcare professionals are able to monitor them remotely, checking in via weekly or daily video calls. The use of this technology saves them significant time and money, and ensures ongoing care.
Post-Acute Care
Q-Consultation has also been adopted by post-acute wound care clinicians, who need to be able to document and assess wounds quickly and easily. Q-Consultation has been integrated into their wound management platform, empowering clinicians to monitor and treat wounds and schedule virtual meetings with other clinicians for consultation.
Routine check-ups
Perhaps the most obvious way Q-Consultation has been adopted, especially in the era of Covid-19, is to conduct routine check-ups and consultations remotely. Limiting the cost of no-show appointments and reducing pressure on clinical resources, remote virtual appointments have proven their utility.
