The latest announcement enables patients to circumvent the inconveniences of in-person visits. Patients can avoid the commute, wait times, and scheduling conflicts using a HIPAA-compliant secure video portal.
After creating an account and filling out general information online, patients can schedule their telemedicine appointment. Once scheduled, seeing a provider requires a reliable internet connection and a webcam.
The center’s telemedicine solution can track and monitor sleeping patterns. Patients can now input their sleep schedules on the digital platform so their sleep medicine specialist can better understand their nighttime routines. The system will chart their progress via personalized sleep diaries. The telemedicine software is also compatible with wearable technology and accepts data from an Apple Watch or Fitbit. Provider-assigned questionnaires can be added to the diary to monitor and track trends.
The Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center uses HIPAA-compliant telemedicine technology and values the confidentiality of patient data. Security measures safeguarding a patient’s privacy include two-step login verification, secure file storage protocols, and data encryption.
The latest announcement provides quality, safe, and convenient sleep consultations without having to deal with the hassles associated with traveling.
