Running a successful business is very much about resourcefulness; a physician clinic is no different. You have to seek out ways to make the best of your resources while at the same time, adding value to your clientele so that they will seek out your business or clinic versus another.

Through the utilization of Diagnostic for Doctors, brought to you by TeleMED Diagnostic Management Inc. (TeleMED), physicians receive an efficient, cost-effective and convenient alternative to the current practice of referring patients to Medical Laboratory clinics or hospitals for diagnostic testing.  All of the steps needed to get your patients tested have now been reduced to a more streamlined and effective process that keeps the testing in the comfort of your office. The adoption of Diagnostic for Doctors leads to 7 ways to growing your physician business:

1. Utilize Current Administrative ResourcesOffering diagnostic testing in your office uses your current staff and office space; it does not require any additional resources. TeleMED supplies you with the needed equipment and trains your qualified technicians to perform the testing in the comfort of your office.

2. Eliminating the Need for Pre Schedule of Tests and Wait timesRather than booking an appointment with a specialist based on referral, wait times for patients to receive testing are eliminated.  By doctors offering the diagnostic service in their office there is no need to book an appointment with a specialist or wait for the test to be performed while the patient’s illness potentially progresses.

3. Eliminating Delays of ServiceBy having the patient receive immediate testing, doctors are eliminating delays in treatment and service to the patient. This leads to faster and better treatment resulting in happier and more satisfied patients.

4. Receiving Immediate Test ResultsSince doctors are performing the diagnostic testing in their office, the test is sent electronically to a specialist for review and results are received within 48 hours.

5. Validating Quality of TestsThere is nothing more frustrating for a patient and a doctor than having a diagnostic test being performed improperly. The patient and the doctor’s time are used ineffectively by having to repeat the testing process. Diagnostic for Doctors eliminates the need for repeat tests and allows the technician to validate the quality of the initial test while it is being delivered.

6. Improve Patient Satisfaction LevelsBy eliminating wait times, delivering results to patients sooner and ensuring they receive immediate treatment, patients are happier with the service they receive. Thus, their satisfaction levels are increased.

7. Generate New Revenues without Increasing ExpensesOffering in- office diagnostic testing allows the doctor to generate additional revenue while not having to increase their expenses. No new equipment, training or staff is required. Physicians receive extra income without putting additional strain on their resources.

Not referring patients to external specialists and keeping the performing of diagnostic testing in-house can increase the quality of services and lead to business growth. Click to learn more about the Diagnostic for Doctors solution offered by TeleMED and how to get started with it today.

TeleMED’s turnkey solution includes setup, training, 24/7 technical support and access to the expertise of Specialists on demand.  No capital investment is required from physicians and they pay for services as they use them, on a monthly subscription or on a per-test basis.  No long-term commitment is required and physicians can opt out of the program with little notice and with no financial penalty.  As a result of its “low cost, low risk” appeal, Diagnostics for Doctors is proving to be a program that allows physicians to improve the health of their practices while they are improving the health of their patients.

Realizing that staff in physicians’ clinics lack the testing experience of hospital nurses and medical practitioners, TeleMED provides a highly automated, highly intuitive workflow that allows them to enter demographics and acquire a test with just a few simple clicks.  A complete suite of non-invasive diagnostic tests can be managed on one integrated, cloud-based platform.  Physicians can elect, on a test-by-test basis whether to interpret tests themselves or to refer them electronically to their selected Specialists for interpretation.  Tests that are referred to Specialists are generally interpreted and returned electronically to physicians within a 24-hour period.

“The time is right for Diagnostics for Doctors”, says AsaLebel, TeleMED’s President.  “The growing cost of healthcare has created a demand for delivering high quality services in point of care and near-patient settings wherever possible.  Diagnostics for Doctors has made it possible for physicians to access advanced technology at a very affordable cost and obtain the results within 24 hours.  Testing is done in an environment that is familiar, accessible and convenient for patients.  Both physicians and patients benefit from the reduction in follow-up paperwork, calls and visits.”

TeleMED offers an innovative technology for modernizing the doctor’s office. By utilizing their solution, physicians are able to validate the test performed on patients at the office and improve access to diagnostic tests to patients with mobility issues. The performing of diagnostic tests in house leads to the generation of a new source of revenue for physicians to supplement overhead costs on office and human resource expenses.
