As the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to be unpredictable, one of the greatest ways to manage the feelings of uncertainty is through consistent and up-to-date communication from trustworthy sources.

PlatformQ Health is pleased to announce two new programs dedicated to updating health care professionals about telehealth and practice management, both produced in partnership with LUGPA.  “Tap into Telehealth: Expand Your Practice Capacity Today” and “How COVID-19 is Affecting your LUGPA Group: Candid Interviews with Dr. Neal Shore” are part of the Virtual Crossfire Series on UroCareLive featuring a panel of experts that discuss the best ways to protect both patients and staff during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Tap into Telehealth: Expand Your Practice Capacity Today

Michael Fabrizio, MD and Alan Winkler, MHSA, FACMPE hosted a live program, “Tap into Telehealth: Expand Your Practice Capacity Today” on March 26th to discuss the safe alternatives to traditional face-to-face delivery models. The program is now available on demand on UroCareLive.com for HCPs and practice administrators to learn more about:

How COVID-19 is Affecting your LUGPA Group: Candid Interviews with Dr. Neal Shore

The following week, Neal Shore, MD, Mara Holtman, MD, Richard G. Harris MD, and Davis Carpenter convened virtually to provide further practice resources to urologic practices for the program, “How COVID-19 is Affecting your LUGPA Group: Candid Interviews with Dr. Neal Shore.” The program, now available on-demand discusses how to effectively manage in-clinic and remote staff teams, the inevitable feelings of anxiety and fear, new communication strategies and more, like:

  • LUGPA activities during the COVID-19 Crisis
  • An example of a rotating staffing model

Trustworthy, practical information is so important during this time – about the virus’ effects, but also to help HCPs continue to manage other patient needs. We value creating and sharing trustworthy information during this time to help people make informed and empowered decisions.  As COVID-19 continues to disrupt our communities, we are committed to working with our partners to provide digital programs to keep HCPs and patients updated.

Be on the lookout for upcoming LUGPA programs in the coming weeks, including a “Part 2” conversation with Dr. Neal Shore, to continue answering questions and sharing insights as the challenges of COVID-19 evolve. Please tune back in for our next program in partnership with LUGPA called, “How COVID-19 is Affecting your LUGPA Group: Candid Interviews with Dr. Neal Shore – Part II” to hear more about how to overcome the challenges of COVID-19.
