Timely access to healthcare is the condition whereby medical staff deliver health services to patients efficiently. Healthcare facilities can facilitate convenient access through; additional physician recruitment, remote patient monitoring and consultation, and increased medical efficiency and patient outcome.

The shortage of healthcare professionals limits the amount and type of healthcare services that a health facility can handle; thus, equipping a healthcare facility with enough professionals solved by increasing the number of slots for medical healthcare students. Since the current tuition fee for studying medicine is relatively high, the government can expand the loan-forgiveness program. Legislations should lift the barriers for foreign-trained practitioners practising their professions in the country.

With the current advancement in the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, healthcare facilities equipped with smart patient care devices can conduct remote consultations with patients online. The patient follows up is also run more efficiently on the platform. When a patient can report unexpected side effects or symptoms, the intelligent chatbot algorithm recommends advice for, not critical conditions (Vaganova, Ishchuk, Zemtsov, & Zhdanov, 2017). If the symptoms described by the patient are potentially dangerous, a specialist gets assigned to the case. The technique is crucial, especially in the middle of a pandemic.

Medical efficiency is the degree to which medical resources get exploited to deliver medical services to patients. For medical equipment and resources to be used entirely, healthcare staff must be proficient in using the machines and how to communicate with the patient. For instance, nurses can lead the patient using compassionate tones to open up on the pain and discomfort level (Fraser, Encinosa, & Gled, 2008). Once hospital staff know how a patient feels, appropriate adjustments are made in the medication and care for the best patient outcome.
