Updox Town Hall
Workflows for Telehealth and Bringing Patients Back Safely
Tuesday, November 17
12 - 1:00 pm
As COVID appears to be spiking again, I’m hearing more stories of clinics dealing with COVID so utilizing telehealth is as important as ever in keeping staff and patients safe. The Updox Town Hall will be facilitated by Updox support staff who will be discussing ways to use telehealth effectively. For those of you who consistently use Updox this will be an excellent refresher; and for those of you who are registered for Updox but have never used it, please plan to attend to learn the best ways to implement it into your clinic.
Discussion Topics:
-
Using three-way video chats - NEW
- Creative ways to use Updox during the pandemic
- Best practices that the Updox team have seen groups utilizing for telehealth visits and bringing patients back safely when in-office visits are necessary
All attendees will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card. More meeting information coming soon.
