With 16 physicians across the island, along with 10 pharmacists, a physiotherapist, an optometrist and a naturopathic doctor, Medicuro is quickly becoming a fully integrated, functioning, collaborative virtual team. Have you used their services?
Dr. Todd Young is a family physician in Springdale and the CEO and founder of Medicuro Virtual Clinic. Since becoming covered under MCP, the app and online booking system experienced an"explosion," Young said. — ContributedST. JOHN'S, N.L. — Ron Anderson, 72, is having several cardiac issues managed by his family physician, and he doesn’t need to travel the 150 kilometres from Corner Brook to Springdale to do it.
“I certainly saw that virtual was kind of coming up in different spots throughout the globe, particularly in the U.S., and there’s always shortages in healthcare and I always like to think outside the box.” Virtual care knocks down barriers, particularly for the elderly and those with disabilities, Young said.
There is also the problem of staffing shortages causing rural health centres and emergency rooms to divert patients to other areas, forcing people to travel longer distances to access care. And if, through questioning, it seems like there might be more to a patient’s heartburn — a cardiac event, for example — they will be instructed to visit the nearest ER.
There are also 10 pharmacists, a physiotherapist, an optometrist and a naturopathic doctor involved with Medicuro so far. They’re becoming a fully integrated, functioning, collaborative virtual team, Young said.
