It is rarely mentioned, but the most important technology for improving GP triage is messaging not AI or long algorithms. Easier two-way messaging is a huge improvement over the traditional phone lottery.

Inspiring blog to end the week: ‘by interacting remotely, more focus is inevitably placed on enabling patients to become more confident and capable of understanding their health needs independently ... a cultural shift: activating patients as true partners in their care’
Another solid paper demonstrating #FloMania for established hypertension can be implemented into routine primary care at scale with little impact on clinician workload & results in BP reductions. Significant drop in appointments & average consultation time than pre-Flo👍🏼
Well done @Bitjam 10 years of healthcare quality and safety learning with Florence and the latest digital tech combined. I love the way she speaks Arabic! #TotallyUnique.

The expansion of Medicare-subsidised telehealth services to help tackle #Covid_19 is a great thing. But patients need to remember - it doesn't have to be via Skype/Zoom/Facetime etc. This is not limited to video consultations. An old fashioned telephone will do just fine.
Florence cited in new information published this week by @RCObsGyn for the NHS to urgently consider home BP monitoring to reduce face-to-face appts for pregnant/post-natal women whilst maintaining adequate safety for mum & baby during #covid19UK Read: https://t.co/x5jxYr7Ipu
