Halaxy Telehealth is a secure and affordable solution that simplifies virtual consultations and makes online patient care more manageable than ever.
Let’s explore the 11 benefits of Halaxy Telehealth for both practitioners and patients.
What is Halaxy Telehealth?
Halaxy Telehealth is a built-in tool for secure video and phone consultations, integrated directly into the Halaxy platform. Practitioners can start virtual sessions easily by selecting “Halaxy Telehealth” as the appointment location in their calendar. Each session generates an automatic link sent to patients, making access seamless. Mobile-friendly, affordable, and with no extra setup needed, Halaxy Telehealth supports both individual and group sessions, providing a simple and secure telehealth solution for healthcare providers.
10 Key Benefits of Halaxy Telehealth
Easy to Use, All in One Place
One of the standout benefits of Halaxy Telehealth is its integration with the Halaxy platform. You don’t need any additional software, setup, or integrations to start using it. Simply create an appointment in your Halaxy calendar, set the location to “Halaxy Telehealth,” and your virtual consultation is ready to go.
This ease of use streamlines the appointment process and keeps everything centralised. Practitioners can easily manage both in-person and virtual appointments from one place, eliminating the need to juggle multiple systems. Plus, because Halaxy Telehealth is mobile-friendly, you and your patients can connect from any device, making it accessible and convenient for everyone.
Secure and Private for Peace of Mind
Security is a priority in healthcare, and Halaxy Telehealth was built with this in mind. By using a purpose-built, secure system for video consultations, you ensure that patient information remains confidential and protected. Only authorised participants can access Halaxy Telehealth sessions, providing a layer of security that’s crucial in maintaining patient trust and meeting legal requirements for privacy.
Because Halaxy Telehealth is fully integrated within the Halaxy system, you don’t have to worry about using third-party tools or setting up complex security measures. The platform takes care of it, so you can focus on providing the best care to your patients.
No Additional Setup or Integration Required
With Halaxy Telehealth, there’s no need to sign up for or integrate with any extra software. This is a major time-saver, as practitioners can begin using telehealth functions immediately. When you’re ready to start a session, simply click the Halaxy Telehealth link within your calendar appointment, and you’re good to go.
This feature is particularly beneficial for smaller practices or independent practitioners who don’t have the time or resources to manage complex technical setups. By removing the need for additional software or integrations, Halaxy Telehealth makes it easy to bring telehealth into your practice seamlessly.
Affordable Pay-As-You-Go Pricing
Halaxy Telehealth operates on a pay-as-you-go model, with sessions costing just 2 Halaxy credits for each 15-minute block per patient. With credits costing as little as $0.22 each, a 15-minute telehealth session can cost less than a dollar, making it affordable for practitioners of all sizes. Practitioners who buy credits in bulk enjoy even lower rates, with a 15-minute session potentially costing as little as $0.30.
Having the cost clearly displayed before starting a session means there are no surprises. This transparency helps practices manage their budgets effectively and ensures that telehealth remains an accessible option for patient care.
Automatic Appointment Links and Reminders
Halaxy Telehealth simplifies the process of reminding patients about their appointments. When you schedule a telehealth session, a secure video link is generated and sent automatically to the patient as part of their appointment reminder. Patients don’t need to navigate multiple steps or register for an account – they simply receive a link they can click to join their session.
This automated reminder system reduces no-shows and keeps patients engaged, making it easier for them to connect with you. With Halaxy Telehealth, everything is set up to make attending telehealth appointments as simple as possible.
Flexible Appointment Types, Including Group Sessions
Halaxy Telehealth accommodates various appointment types, supporting both individual and group sessions. Practitioners can add up to three patients to a single telehealth session, ideal for group therapy, family consultations, or collaborative healthcare meetings. This flexibility allows you to manage different types of sessions without needing separate tools.
For practitioners in mental health, family medicine, or other collaborative fields, Halaxy Telehealth provides the structure to conduct secure group sessions, enhancing the care experience for everyone involved.
Phone Consultations with Automatic Call Logs
In addition to video consultations, Halaxy Telehealth supports phone consultations, which are ideal for patients who may have limited internet access. When a phone consultation is scheduled, the system logs the call details automatically, ensuring that accurate records are maintained. If you’ve subscribed to a dedicated number for SMS reminders, you can use the same number to make calls, keeping all communications consistent.
This phone consultation feature offers flexibility in reaching patients who might not be able to connect via video, ensuring that you can provide care to a wider range of patients.
Flexibility to Use Other Video Platforms
Halaxy Telehealth understands that you might have a preference for different video conferencing tools, such as Zoom or Skype. If you choose to use an external platform, you can still manage everything from the Halaxy system. Just create an appointment as usual, obtain the link from your video service, and paste it into the URL field in the Halaxy appointment. This link will then be sent to the patient in their reminder.
This flexibility allows you to use your preferred telehealth platform without leaving Halaxy, offering a streamlined experience for both you and your patients.
Customisable Reminders and Links for Telehealth Sessions
Halaxy Telehealth allows you to customise reminders specifically for video and phone consultations. In the reminder settings, you can add a “Video Consult Link” dynamic term to make it easy for patients to join their session. This clickable link can be accessed from any device, helping patients join their sessions on time and without hassle.
Customisable reminders make it easy to tailor your communication to suit telehealth needs, keeping patients informed and prepared.
Built-In Record Keeping for Enhanced Care Continuity
Halaxy Telehealth automatically logs call details and saves video links, providing a thorough record of telehealth interactions. This feature is beneficial for continuity of care, as practitioners can quickly reference past consultations and track patient progress. Accurate and accessible records improve decision-making and patient outcomes by ensuring that practitioners have all relevant information at their fingertips.
This built-in record-keeping feature minimises the need for manual record entry, helping you spend more time with patients and less time on administrative tasks.
Conclusion
Halaxy Telehealth is designed to make telehealth simple, secure, and affordable for healthcare providers. Fully integrated with the Halaxy platform, it allows you to manage video and phone consultations directly from your calendar, with flexible appointment options and easy reminders for a smooth experience for both you and your patients.
