Working from home, once an approach relegated to very few job categories, has now become the norm for most employees. Companies need to insure that remote workers have robust tools that will allow them to seamlessly interact with their peers, their managers, and their co-workers in other locations nationally, as well as internationally in many instances. Employers should be focusing on standardizing communications platforms with the greatest flexibility, reliability, bandwidth, and enhancement capabilities possible, without finding themselves needing to support a po peri of ad-hoc tools that employees may elect to utilize on their own, absent a unified message and recommendation being put forth. Deciding on which tools, how best to implement them, how best to support them, and how best to deploy them, are all critical success factors that only an experienced IT consulting firm can provide.

We’ve lost in person interactions with these most valuable relationships, and now must provide customers, members, and patients with alternative means to get answers to their pressing questions on products they have ordered, services they would like to receive, appointments they wish to make, etc., and all of these and dozens of other accommodations must be available via phone, mobile devices, and laptop computers, running a myriad of operating systems. Companies must upgrade their external facing IT functionality to meet these challenges, and they must be able to stay current with the anticipated requirement to deliver even more functionality while operating remotely. The changes that are upon us are not likely to disappear anytime soon, and we have to look ahead to insure that we have incorporated technology that will allow our companies to continue to services customers, and to grow profitably.

Telemedicine, once a modestly utilized technology by a select few providers and health systems, has now become mandatory for physicians, hospitals, health systems, and healthcare payers to survive. Patients cannot or will not travel to their physician’s office for care due to the COVID-19 crisis. Patients will instead insist on IT based functionally that will allow for virtual visits with their physician(s), with prescriptions electronically sent to their preferred pharmacy, and for medical monitoring devices to be integrated automatically into the “portal” solution they are provided access to. In addition to these steps, all of the data that is generated must be melded into their electronic medical record, automatically.
