Banty's Dr. Richard Tytus Discusses Why Patients Need Access to More Virtual Medicine Appointments

TORONTO, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Now is the time in which doctors throughout the world should implement virtual medicine solutions at their clinic. Not only has the COVID-19 global pandemic reminded us of this technology's importance, but it's also educated a large cross-section of individuals about it.

In the past, non-in-person medical appointments could take place over the phone. Now, though, doctors have the ability to touch base with patients over a video call. Since these patients are familiar with the pluses of online doctor's appointments, it's now the responsibility of those who medically care for them to offer such a service.

According to the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), 96% of health centers "predict patients will have a harder time accessing care and suffer poorer health outcomes unless flexible telehealth policies are continued."

Dr. Richard Tytus, Co-Founder and Medical Director of telemedicine solution Banty Inc., recognizes the importance of keeping helpful telehealth policies active for the sake of patients, because that'll help them:

  • Book more frequent appointments: Some patients are hesitant about booking several doctor's appointments to take care of a specific health issue. The hard reality is that in-person appointments can take people away from work for multiple hours, leading to lost wages – especially for those who are not salaried. Virtual medicine appointments, meanwhile, can be done quickly from a computer, smartphone, or tablet. All that's required is a private office space, or the ability to sneak away from one's desk for a break.
  • Experience beneficial virtual medicine solutions: Banty Medical was designed to give doctors and patients alike an easy and secure virtual visit experience. Here, doctors get to create a custom Banty room address (i.e., Banty.com/MyClinic). This is the only link a patient will need to use in order to see their doctor. Banty Medical is also HIPAA/PHIPA compliant and end-to-end encrypted, meaning all appointments remain secure and private. Information disclosed in appointments will not leak to unwanted third parties, nor will it be stored by Banty.
  • Connect from remote areas: There are numerous remote communities that do not have a doctor's office – or enough doctor's offices – in the immediate area. Thus, long commutes usually need to be made. By medical clinics who usually serve these communities offering virtual medicine appointments, patients will be far less inconvenienced – especially those with time constraints or mobility issues.

"If we really want to make sure all patients always get the care they need, it's time to make virtual medicine a standard service offered by medical clinics," adds Dr. Tytus. "The technology and the appetite for it is there."

Banty.com's video call service offers all subscribers a custom, permanent URL (i.e., Banty.com/MyMeeting); a secure, end-to-end encrypted meeting space; excellent video quality; unlimited meetings each month; and straightforward scheduling tools.

Banty has a number of solutions that are meant to make it easy to meet with those who matter most to you. (Watch the 'Banty Is Easy' video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhmVdwrR_w8&t=10s)
