Telehealth by Lightning Step: Personalized Virtual Care
In the wake of the global pandemic, telehealth has become an essential tool for healthcare providers, especially in the behavioral health sector. Lightning Step Technologies has stepped up to meet this challenge with its integrated Telehealth solution, as showcased in our recent Lightning Strikes webinar (Episode 6).
Seamless Integration
The core advantage of Telehealth by Lightning Step is its seamless integration with the existing Lightning Step platform. This integration eliminates the need for separate apps or complex setups, allowing providers to schedule and launch sessions directly from their calendar. For clients, joining a session is as simple as clicking a link in their browser – no additional software required.
Security First
In an era where data privacy is paramount, Lightning Step has prioritized security. Each participant receives a unique, encrypted link for their session, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access the virtual meeting room. This approach not only enhances security but also simplifies the join process for clients.
Made for All Practice Types
Whether you're conducting one-on-one therapy sessions, group therapy, or even large webinar-style presentations, Telehealth by Lightning Step has you covered. The platform supports an unlimited number of participants, making it suitable for practices of all sizes and specialties.
Flexible Scheduling
Flexibility is key when it comes to scheduling. Telehealth by Lightning Step allows staff to schedule sessions for themselves or on behalf of others. An upcoming online booking feature will empower clients to request appointments directly, further reducing administrative burden.
Enhancing the Telehealth Experience
Lightning Step isn't resting on its laurels. The development team is hard at work on a range of exciting enhancements and features:
Automated Attendance Tracking: Say goodbye to manual attendance taking in group sessions.
AI-Assisted Note-Taking: Integrate session transcripts with progress notes for more efficient documentation.
Waiting Room Functionality: Control access to your virtual sessions for improved security and workflow.

Mobile Optimization: Access telehealth sessions on-the-go with upcoming mobile apps.
Non-Patient Participants: Easily include parents or other support persons in sessions.
Our Vision for Integrated Care
The future of Telehealth by Lightning Step is bright. The team is working on deeper integrations within the platform, such as AI-assisted progress notes based on session transcripts. This level of integration promises to save providers valuable time and improve the overall quality of care.
