8 Ways DUTCH Fits in with Your Telemedicine Practice


During these trying times, taking care of your patients is ESSENTIAL to their overall individual and collective health.

As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, many functional medicine practices are grappling with a decline in patient visits. Telemedicine and virtual visit care platforms which allow healthcare professionals and patients to meet by phone or video chat seems tailor-made for this moment in time. While telemedicine is often touted as a convenience for patients who are busy, far away, or unable to travel due to severe weather or urgent conditions, the current crisis makes virtual care solutions an indispensable tool.

With COVID-19 reaching across global communities, virtual visits may give patients and practitioners alike peace of mind from the worry of exposure to infection. And although telemedicine has a spectrum of uses, there are two distinct ways it plays a critical role during the current crisis:

  • Because many typical, in-person office visits such as follow-ups and explaining lab results can be done via telemedicine, it is an essential tool in keeping your patients at home and reducing the traffic and potential contagion in your offices
  • With access to testing limited, telemedicine can be an invaluable tool in screening potential covid-19 patients
