Q: The patient experience has changed dramatically during the pandemic. Moving forward, how do you see patient engagement changing to accommodate these new ways of “seeing” patients?
Haines: Healthcare and engagement with patients will need to reflect the changes that have occurred. Telehealth use and reimbursement has had a dramatic evolution in the past year, with hope that this continues post-COVID. The benefits are many — expanding our care reach with accessibility to more patients that previously may have transportation or mobility issues; convenience; prevention of infectious disease spread and decreased missed appointments. Telehealth visits are typically shorter than in-person visits, which can increase the number of patients seen in a day, increasing access to more patients.

Patients and their loved ones who visit the nurse practitioner-led practice won’t notice anything different when they interact with staff through telehealth and in-person visits. And that’s exactly the point, said NMPCC Director Carolyn Haines. Patient-centered care has been at the core of the clinic from the beginning.

“For us, it’s been almost business as usual. There really hasn’t been a big disruption in participation,” said Carolyn Haines, director of the Nurse Managed Primary Care Center, which is averaging about 50 telehealth visits each week since halting in-person visits. “We are 100 percent virtual and we are serving our patients in real time. Our patients are incredibly grateful for the opportunity — they would have no other way to have a visit otherwise.”
