Virtual Care is Personal Care with Telehealth by Lightning Step

As the October 31st deadline for the free trial of Telehealth by Lightning Step approaches, many providers are evaluating which features will be most crucial for their practice moving forward. While there are many benefits to our platform, the one that makes them all possible is the seamless integration with the existing Lightning Step ecosystem, especially within our calendar.

The Power of Integration

Healthcare is a fast-paced world where efficiency is key. The seamless integration of Telehealth by Lightning Step with the Lightning Step platform eliminates the need to juggle multiple applications or complex setups. There is no need to install an application for clinicians and clients to access their telehealth sessions. This integration streamlines your workflow in several ways:

1. One-Click Session Launch: Schedule and launch telehealth sessions directly from your Lightning Step calendar. No more switching between apps or copying and pasting meeting links.

2. Automatic Appointment Reminders: Clients receive appointment reminders with their unique, secure telehealth link included. Telehealth reminders are sent via email, client portal, or text message. This reduces no-shows and simplifies the join process for clients.

3. Simplified Billing: Telehealth sessions are automatically logged in the system, making billing and insurance claims a breeze.

4. Integrated Notes: Coming soon, AI-assisted note-taking will allow you to create progress notes directly from session transcripts, saving you valuable time on documentation.

Enhanced Security Without Compromising Convenience

Security is extremely important in healthcare, especially when it comes to virtual sessions. Our integrated approach ensures that each participant receives a unique, encrypted link for their session. This enhances security and simplifies the join process for clients, meeting all HIPAA compliance requirements. They click the link in their browser, with no additional software required. 

Flexibility for All Practice Types

Whether you're conducting individual therapy, group sessions, or large webinars, Telehealth by Lightning Step adapts to your needs. The platform supports unlimited participants, making it suitable for practices of all sizes and specialties. While other platforms limit your group session attendance, we ensure you can provide patients the care needed in both in-person and virtual environments.

Looking Ahead: Continuous Improvement

Lightning Step is committed to continually enhancing the telehealth experience as we move beyond the trial period. Upcoming features include:

- Automated attendance tracking for group sessions
- Waiting room functionality for improved session management
- Enhanced host controls for better participant management
- Virtual backgrounds and blur options for increased privacy
