A few teams were working on reinventing the wheel while a few were working on making existing technologies more scalable and accessible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the most experienced team led by the CEO himself was working on a game-changing virtual care solution for long-term care homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, at that time, we had not any idea that this solution would be easing the fight of long-term care homes against the pandemic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Into the Pandemic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And the doomsday is here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambulances rushing to hospitals, loud ambulance sirens crushing hearts, businesses shutting doors, government piling up PPEs, physicians wrapping plastics around, and all hoping for the best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the majority of people, the path to even the next step was unclear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon the wreaked havoc started surfacing and it left all Canadians infused with sadness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The news of our seniors dying due to coronavirus far away from their loved ones and family in long-term care homes was heartbreaking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was more painful as people were not able to do anything &#8211; not able to find a place where hope must be waiting for them!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we found it in our everyday operations &#8211; in technology!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we had been practicing rapid adaptivity, we quickly collected our all resources and focus from other areas and earmarked it only for the unprecedented healthcare revolution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more strength &#8211; even in a new work pattern &#8211; the product team achieved a virtual care solution for long-term care homes 120 days prior to the deadline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The onboarding and support team assisted 20+ long-term care homes shift from old-school less efficient ways of carrying out senior care operations to the future of healthcare practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was 2020. <em>Even the easiest task turned out to be a difficult one.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To eliminate transmission risk, the government banned the entry of visitors to long-term care homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Damn, we now need to support clients remotely. But how?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, we found hope in technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We deployed AR-based remote assistance technology to offer IT deployment and education remotely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term care homes are still fighting against the virus&nbsp; &#8211; but now with ease, with technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While spending 8 hours every day discussing and working with healthcare professionals, we discovered many areas where no one had dared yet to bring innovation, affordably.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthcare professionals were dangerously overwhelmed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were exhausted from many tedious operations like managing patients\u2019 appointments, onboarding, medications, concerns and claims.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, we introduced the 21st century\u2019s most useful technology &#8211; RPA &#8211; under our service set.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RPA executes processes on the computer by itself from scheduling appointments, ordering prescriptions, sending invoices, managing claims that makes healthcare professionals less burdened.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We measured the impact manually and we found that with RPA, a physician can save at least 3 hours in a day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for context, the physician can treat 10 more patients in these saved 3 hours!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, we are proud that we didn\u2019t reinvent the wheel much.
