COVID-19’s emergence in recent years has altered the entire healthcare and work environment ecosystem. There were countless interruptions for frontline and remote healthcare workers. Communication and collaboration have never played a stronger role than now. So how does a hospital or a company in the healthcare industry improve patient care and get work done quickly? This article talks about several ways in which healthcare companies can utilize Google Workspace to make the most. 

What is Google Workspace?

Google Workspace is a suite of applications that enhances communication and collaboration within your organization. These applications include Corporate GMail, Calendar, Chat (One on One chat), Spaces (Group Chat), Online storage (Google Drive), Office Productivity Suite (Google Docs, Sheets and Slides), Survey tool – Google Forms, Intranet Portal – Google Sites. These applications can be accessed from any device, anyplace and at any time. While your employees can access these applications easily, your IT team can publish security based policies to ensure a high level of data-security in  your work environment.

Following are the points we believe that Google Workspace can add value to the healthcare industry

Collaborative Drive Platform- Increase Operational Efficiency

There will be no more stacks of files containing test results, prescriptions, and x-rays. Google Workspace includes the My Drive feature, which allows doctors and frontline staff to store and share digital copies of all these documents. They can send voice and video messages and access files from any device, including Android, iOS, and Chromebooks.

Easy Training- Anytime, Anywhere

Google Workspace includes a variety of collaborative tools that allow you to connect whenever and wherever you want. Training healthcare professionals, particularly field workers, is now as easy as pie, regardless of how many locations, shifts, or products are involved. With Google Meet, management can easily arrange live training all over the world. All training materials can be easily and securely stored in My Drive or a shared drive, and these files can be embedded in Google sites.

Virtual Support To Remote Patients

Medical professionals and healthcare representatives are constantly improving services to maximize patient benefit. Google Workspace allows you to connect with remote patients and provide them with continuous care. Google Workspace connects medical professionals using secure and encrypted methods such as Google Meet and Gmail.

Seamless Experience- Fast Registration, Easy Communication and Quick Feedback

Long queues are no longer necessary! Google Workspace allows patients to book an appointment with a single online form created with Google Forms. Staff can use Google Sheets to keep track of sent responses and the queue. These sheets allow healthcare workers to record administrative information about patients. Because Google Sheets update in real time, doctors can share important information with patients before they leave, such as follow-up appointments or reminders. Patients on the premises can use Google Meet to connect with family and friends. Last but not least, forms make life easier by collecting necessary feedback from patients.

Provide Devices That Are Safe By Design

The most important data in the healthcare industry is patient information, health updates and health history. The industry requires a device that allows healthcare workers and frontline employees to access patient information quickly and safely. Google Workspace helps healthcare workers to keep guidelines, regulate, manage, and comply by allowing them to work more easily with mobile devices and collaborative tools.
