At the heart of this transformation are frontline healthcare workers\u2014the doctors, nurses, and care team members that work to help keep us safe and healthy. Touching nearly every step of the patient journey and maintaining the foundation of our healthcare system, healthcare workers require the latest tools to stay engaged, connected, and empowered to provide the best possible care. The adoption of technology to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/microsoft-teams\/healthcare-solutions\">support frontline healthcare workers<\/a> is increasing, and we\u2019ve seen monthly usage of Microsoft Teams <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/worklab\/work-trend-index\/technology-unlocks-a-new-future-for-frontline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grow over 560 percent<\/a> in this industry between March 2020 and November 2021. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Microsoft, we\u2019re committed to supporting the healthcare workforce by designing products that can help improve the lives of those on the frontline, and the patients they serve. To do this, we\u2019re working on products to connect care teams more seamlessly, provide solutions to efficiently manage and motivate care teams, and empower organizations to adapt to a dynamic and rapidly changing healthcare environment. I\u2019m excited to announce a few new products to make their experience easier in Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-seamless-experience-for-virtual-appointments\">A seamless experience for virtual appointments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This week at the HIMSS healthcare conference, we&#8217;re announcing exciting new features in Microsoft Teams for virtual appointments. We\u2019ve seen the adoption of virtual appointments in healthcare skyrocket during the pandemic, and we continue to see outstanding growth. It\u2019s an area that\u2019s here to stay, with use cases that are core to the future of healthcare and many other key industries. Teams provides a simple and convenient experience for patients and providers for telehealth workflows. It builds on the momentum from the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/HIMSS22Day1blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare<\/a>, with new features to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"schedule-on-demand-appointments-preview-april-2022\">Schedule on-demand appointments (preview, April 2022)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/GIF-On-demand-virtual-appointments_.gif\" alt=\"A mobile phone selecting an on-demand virtual appointment, joining the virtual waiting room, and meeting with a provider.\" class=\"wp-image-245298\" width=\"320\" height=\"621\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients can request on-demand appointments with their provider. Organizations using on-demand scheduling can see and monitor on-demand appointments in a queue view through the Microsoft Bookings app in Teams.

This allows the patient and provider to focus on the appointment, and spend less time on technical challenges.
