When it comes to patient care, convenience and accessibility are game-changers. Dr. Scott Herron, an experienced orthopedist, has discovered a new way to provide high-quality, post-operative care that fit his and his patients’ busy lives.
From pro athletes on the road to nursing facility residents needing follow-ups, Dr. Herron has made healthcare more accessible and less stressful. Here’s how Vosita has transformed his approach to patient care, making life easier for patients and ensuring they receive the timely care they need.
Keeping Up with Patients on the Move
For Dr. Herron, many of his patients are pro and semi-pro athletes who are constantly on the move, traveling from one game to another. Traditional follow-ups just aren’t practical for these patients, and delaying check-ups is often risky. That’s where Vosita’s virtual visit feature comes in.
“I operate on many pro and semi-pro athletes, and having a remote platform makes it easier for the patient to follow up when they are on the road for their next game.” Dr. Herron says.
With Vosita, Dr. Herron can connect with his patients wherever they are, ensuring they receive the necessary follow-up care without the need to be physically present. This flexibility keeps his patients on track with their recovery, allowing them to stay focused on their careers without compromising their health.
Easier Post-Op Care with Telemedicine
One of the biggest logistical challenges in healthcare is arranging transportation for nursing facility residents to attend follow-up appointments. For patients recovering in skilled nursing facilities, post-op visits often require coordination between families, transport services, and facility staff—a process that can be stressful and costly.
“The rehab facilities like it because they do not need to make arrangements for the patient to be transported to our office,” he explains.
“Now, 90% of the initial post-op visits for our skilled nursing patients are done remotely using Vosita.”
With remote follow-ups, patients can remain in the comfort of their rehab facilities, saving time, effort, and resources while still receiving the care they need. This shift doesn’t just benefit the facilities; it’s also a major relief for patients and their families.
