Use the Phone for Compassionate Healthcare

How to create trust and collect data efficiently and empathetically

Your time is limited and you’ve been working too many hours a day to try to keep up. There are dozens of calls on hold. So many people ill, or just plain scared. Folks with previously existing conditions that can’t get in to see you. Folks with Covid19 that don’t know what to do. People feeling isolated, anxious, frightened. To make it worse, feelings of this level of anxiety actually cause heart stressors.

And now you’re slammed, with dozens, maybe hundreds of incoming calls a day. That’s right: the telephone is your main communication vehicle.

The phone? You don’t usually use the phone to diagnose or treat patients. You’ve relied on in-person, or face-to-face visits for many years. And now you have no choice: you’re stuck with the phone – a tool you may even scorn.
