4 Ways to Make Your Patients More Comfortable

4 Ways to Make Your Patients More Comfortable

Iatrophobia, or fear of the doctor, is one of the biggest reasons why people don't seek the healthcare they need. Here are just four ways to combat it.

1. Hire the Right People

A friendly face at the counter can make all the difference in a patient's first impression. Your nurses and phlebotomists should also be trained in sensitivity, compassion and efficacy. A good medical staff is key to a pleasant patient experience.

2. Install Kiosks

Many clinics around the world have turned to patient kiosks to streamline appointments and checks-ins. Not only will this lessen the burden on your receptionist, but it will also reduce your carbon footprint by turning your office into a paperless one.

3. Utilize Color Psychology

Blue is a soothing color that will relax your patients and put them at ease. Yellow will make your offices look friendly and welcoming. Greens, pinks and purples are fun for pediatric offices. The next time you paint your clinic, remember your color psychology.

4. Talk to the Experts

Companies like StrategyGen Consulting can help you completely revamp and revitalize your patient intake/outtake procedures. From safety protocols to data entry, they'll make sure you're providing your patients with the very best in medical care.

These are just four ways to eliminate the stress of a doctor's visit in the eyes of your patients. If you're serious about providing them with a comfortable yet professional atmosphere, it's time to start thinking about things from their point of view.

Skin Benefits of Yogurt


Summers are here and I don�t know about you but I love having yogurt in summers, especially with a little bit of sugar. And now with the frozen yogurt coming up in the market, they are giving us a healthy alternative for desserts. I always make it a point to grab a cup of frozen yogurt whenever I am out. Yogurt gives a cooling effect to the body, so why not skin ? I have been using plain yogurt on my skin almost every day for a month now and I have seen pretty nice changes in my skin .So I thought it was time to share my experiences with you people
Yogurt contains zinc, calcium, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, protein and yeast
� Zinc is said to have anti-inflammatory benefits which can help reduce acne. It is like a mild astringent
� Calcium has antioxidant properties, it helps in cell renewal. It can help make your skin �glow�. Whereas deficiency in calcium can lead to premature aging, dryness and even itching
� Vitamin B�s are capable of preventing acne and enhancing the blood circulation
� Protein is an important ingredient for our entire body .if your body is rich in proteins ,your skin will automatically look soft, supple and radiant


How to use the yogurt for skin
Just take the plain fresh home-made yogurt and apply it on the skin and leave it for 10minutes ,after that wash it off with cold water and apply a good moisturizer .I advise doing it at night before sleeping because I found it more effective. You can use yogurt with honey if you have dry skin, my mom has used it and it has helped her with her fine lines
Lack of water in my everyday routine had made my skin dehydrated and it had lost its glow, I looked tired all the time, so when I came home this yogurt mask was the first thing my mom suggested. It also helped me with my tanning .As the summers approach every year, I get so scared of stepping outside because I am scared of tanning, no matter how good sunscreen I use, I will definitely get some tanning on my skin. The yogurt mask was able to remove all the tanning out of my face and even faded some of the blemishes. I went for a family gathering a few days ago, and all my relatives were coming up to me and asking me what did I do with my skin, one of my cousins was so sure that I got a treatment done from saloon. And that�s when I knewyogurt had done its work for me
 



� It will make the skin hydrated
� Fades away the blemishes to a great extent
� Lightens the skin tone
� Helps with acne
� My skin has started looking very healthy and fresh
� Its natural, out of your own kitchen ,so there are no side effects
� None, except don�t use it if you have allergy from dairy products
I�m going to recommend it to everyone with all kinds of skin, do try it once and tell me if it worked for you or not.

A Better Way to Get Immediate Medical Care

In the past, if you needed medical care quickly, you could call 911 for a paramedic, or if the need was less critical, you could go to a walk-in emergency room. This latter option has been the only choice for many people, but there has been one big problem. You may end up waiting hours to see a doctor. Walk-in emergency rooms have become crowded, and the level of care has become questionable as well. Today, all of this is changing with urgent care facilities.

An urgent care facility is sometimes owned by a local hospital, but it can also be owned and operated independently of a hospital. In either case, the doctors working at an urgent care facility are board certified. There is seldom any backlog of patients, so waiting times are minimal, if the exist at all. Anyone who cannot wait to make an appointment with a doctor but is not in so urgent of need that they require an ambulance can now go to an urgent care facility.

These facilities will accept all major forms of insurance, and for those without insurance, their fees are usually lower than the walk-in emergency room of the local hospital. In fact, it is a good idea to use an urgent care facility before a hospital. It will save you money. One example of this type of urgent care facility is the Urgency Room. A nearby location can be found under the Urgent Care Near Me portion of the website.
