New Telemedicine Medical Office Assistant Course offered by Livecare

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Nov. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Livecare is offering a new course on effective Telehealth practices for medical office assistants. Starting January 26th, the course lasts 12 weeks and provides an overview on the fundamental concepts and standards involved in a Telehealth program - from scheduling, videoconsult, charting and billing.

The course will introduce medical office assistants to cutting edge Telehealth technology, including hands-on practice with digital medical devices - otoscope, stethoscope, and exam camera, and in-depth training with video conferencing software.

The course was developed by clinicians and administrators at Livecare-operated primary care clinics. Livecare operates Telehealth practices in First Nation hospitals and clinics in remote and rural communities. Livecare has seen over 5000 patients through Telehealth this year.

For Livecare, the offering is a natural fit with ongoing efforts to increase access to health care to all patients, increase the quality of health delivery by providing timely diagnosis and treatment, and reduce the expense to patients, communities, insurance providers and employers by avoiding needless travel costs and absent work days for primary and specialty medical services.
