Teleconsultation in the workplace: an advantage for employees
Teleconsultation is part of telemedicine. It enables you to consult a general practitioner or specialist online, avoiding the queues in traditional practices.
Under current regulations, any company is entitled to set up a telemedicine area within its premises. In fact, the advantages of installing a teleconsultation booth in your company are numerous, for both employers and employees. Well-being and time savings are the keys to a CSR policy in favor of employees.
Is it possible to offer teleconsultation within your company?
It is indeed possible to offer teleconsultation services in the workplace. Your employees will no longer have to leave their workplace to consult a doctor. Tessan can help you set up a medical teleconsultation booth on your premises.
The equipment required for a company teleconsultation
Teleconsultation is becoming increasingly popular throughout France. This is because the equipment required to set up this service is minimal. The Tessan teleconsultation medical booth requires a standard power outlet and an Internet connection via Ethernet with a minimum data rate of 2 mb/s. In other words, the booth can operate with an ADSL connection. Tessan's objective is to equip companies with its connected medical cabin, and to ensure its follow-up.
The installation of a teleconsultation booth is a major innovation. The French have become accustomed to teleconsulting via a dedicated application: Doctolib, Zoom, and so on. Today, all you have to do is download an application to be put in touch with a doctor online. However, the use of a connected medical booth offers doctors much more data, enabling a better assessment and diagnosis of your state of health.
The remote consultation process
Whatever approach your company chooses, the concept of remote consultation remains the same. The employee will be videoconferencing with a doctor.
The consultation then takes place online in the connected booth. The doctor will carry out all the tests required to establish a health check-up. To do this, he will have at his disposal various connected medical devices, including :
- The tensiometer,
- The oximeter
- The thermometer,
- The stethoscope,
- Otoscope,
- The dermatoscope,
- The scale.
After taking note of the patient's medical data and symptoms, the doctor can prescribe a medical prescription. This can be printed directly from the machine, which is equipped with a printer. The booth is soundproofed to ensure confidentiality. Videoconferencing can be done without an appointment within 15 minutes. For a specialist, allow 72 hours for an appointment to be made.
Benefits of telemedicine for employees
Better health logically promotes well-being at work. By obtaining personalized medical care as quickly as possible, your employees can get on with their work. Of course, they won't have to worry about the time-consuming administrative procedures involved in booking an appointment with a GP.
Improving well-being at work
Wellness goes hand in hand with perfect health at work. Stress at work is a vector of anxiety and non-productivity. Offering an office health service takes the stress out of making appointments with your doctor.
Implementing measures that contribute to well-being in the workplace is part of a human resources policy that puts employees at the heart of its concerns. Creating an environment of well-being at work is the key to loyal, productive employees. Thanks to teleconsultation, your employees will have quick and easy access to tailor-made care.
Moreover, this innovative approach to medicine enables your employees to consult a specialist remotely, without encroaching on their personal lives.
A well-organized schedule
Telemedicine is a real time-saver for your weekly schedule. One in two French people has already cancelled an appointment due to lack of time. By using the innovative technology of a telemedicine booth, you offer the possibility of getting in touch with a doctor within 15 minutes, without having to visit a physical practice. All the stress involved in finding a doctor, making an appointment or even taking paid leave is forgotten.
Optimizing employee care
Having the luxury of having a doctor available in your company optimizes the care pathway and improves employee health monitoring. You can teleconsult a doctor quickly and obtain a prescription straight away. This means you can quickly treat standard pathologies. Treatment is immediate and limits the risk of an illness worsening.
The benefits of a telemedicine booth for your company
Telemedicine offers many advantages for a company. Indeed, companies that have taken the plunge and installed a telemedicine booth have reported a significant drop in absenteeism.
Reduced work stoppages
Very often, your employees need to take half a day off work to see a doctor. This leads to higher absenteeism rates, even though the consultation only lasts ten minutes or so.
By allowing your staff to consult a doctor while remaining in the office, your establishment will experience fewer work stoppages. In fact, employees save time by coming to their place of work and having their consultation directly on your premises.
More efficient employees
With the Tessan connected teleconsultation cabin, your employees can spend more time at work and at leisure. The patient sees a doctor in 15 minutes, without an appointment. This system is more in tune with our consumer habits.
After their consultation, your employees can get on with their work. In other words, the presence of telemedicine in the workplace promotes staff productivity and better working conditions.
Employees integrated into your human resources policy
Teleconsultation is an effective tool that fits perfectly into a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach. As employees' health and well-being are at the heart of a company's competitiveness, the installation of a connected teleconsultation booth facilitates employees' access to healthcare. Telemedicine by Tessan is covered by French health insurance.
