In a difficult economic climate, Rajathanee Hospital enhanced its medical services with dtac business WorryFree solutions

21 August 2020 – Rajathanee Hospital, the largest private hospital in the province of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, is enhancing medical services with effective connectivity solutions. In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, patients have been negatively affected due to a difficult economic situation, prompting the hospital to seek greater efficiency. The hospital reported that the dtac business WorryFree package is proving to be an effective enabler for patients and medical staff to remained connected with one another, reduce costs and improve the quality of healthcare.

Surin Prasithirun, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Rajathanee Hospital said,

“Despite easing lockdown measures, the hospital relies on communication technologies to maintain strict social distancing. And with people taking more precautions when going out, the hospital communicates with its patients through text messages and instant messaging to reduce face-to-face interactions. Patients are notified when the appointment date is close, and prescribed medicines are shipped to patients who don’t have to receive physical care at the hospital.”

Rajathanee Hospital also plans to implement a mobile queue management application to reduce waiting time for medical services and prescriptions as well as QR code payment to create a touchless experience.

Moreover, communication technologies enable smooth cooperation between medical staff, from sending text and picture messages to video conferencing for doctor-to-doctor consultations, resulting in a faster and more accurate diagnosis.

“Sometimes our doctors just take a picture of the symptom to seek medical advice from other medical specialists, so these specialists don’t need to actually travel to the hospital. This helps reduce treatment durations, which is preferable for patients,” said Dr. Prasithirun.

The hospital uses the connectivity services of dtac and is currently on a dtac business WorryFree package, an effective way to reduce costs without compromising on quality of service. The package has unlimited internet and no extra costs, no matter the usage, leading to more effective cost management. Interested businesses can find out more at https://sme.dtac.co.th/package
