Overcoming Barriers to Concussion Care with Telehealth
The road to specialized care after concussion can be confusing and challenging. Many people face barriers that delay or prevent them from receiving the necessary treatment, which can prolong recovery times and increase the risk of long-term complications. At the Concussion Clinic at Horizon Neuropsychological Services, we understand these challenges and are committed to providing accessible concussion care through telehealth services to anyone located in the state of Colorado.
One of the most common barriers to concussion care is geographical distance. Many patients live far from specialized clinics, making it difficult to attend appointments regularly. This is especially true for those in rural areas or those without reliable transportation. Telehealth eliminates this barrier by allowing patients to connect with our concussion specialist virtually from the comfort of their homes. Through video consultations, patients can receive expert advice, follow-up care, and monitoring without the need for travel.
Another common barrier is the availability of specialists. There is often a shortage of neuropsychologists and other concussion experts, leading to long wait times for appointments. To address these challenges, our Concussion Clinic aims to get patients in within 48 hours, ensuring prompt and effective treatment. Telehealth helps achieve this by enabling quick scheduling and access to expert concussion care.
Busy schedules can also prevent people from accessing specialized care. Between work, school, and other activities, finding time for appointments can be difficult. Telehealth offers a flexible solution, allowing patients to schedule virtual concussion consultations at times that are convenient for them. This flexibility ensures that even those with the busiest schedules can receive the concussion care they need without significantly disrupting their daily routines.
At Horizon Neuropsychological Services, we are dedicated to improving concussion recovery times by reducing barriers to specialized care through our virtual concussion appointments. Early access to specialized care is crucial for effective treatment, and telehealth makes this possible.
