By the end of the 20th century Visiting doctors were nearly obsolete. However, recently they seem to be making a comeback, especially with the current COVID-19 health crisis. With more and more people preferring to receive healthcare at home, Visiting Doctors & Practitioners in San Antonio, Texas have seen a growth in popularity.
Here are a few benefits that House Call doctors in Texas can provide patients:
- Reduced Hospitalizations
According to a recent study of Medicare data, it was found that patients who receive at-home Palliative Care require 9% fewer hospitalizations and 20% fewer emergency department visits. - Improve Patient Safety
Much of the senior population over the age of 75 find it difficult to make it to regular doctor’s appointments because of disabilities. House calls allow doctors to check up on patients with less mobility and find out whether their conditions have improved or not. - Time-Efficient
House calls avoid the hassle of scheduling an appointment for later in the week (or month), driving to an office, and wasting time in the waiting room. This can be very convenient for busy workers and parents who have other responsibilities to meet.
So, if you ever need to see a doctor, why not try a house call? Call Visiting Practitioners & Palliative Care LLC to book a visit today!
