Rise of technology, rise of health care -Telehealth


In the era of technology, even the medical check-ups and doctor consultation are making large use electronic and technical devices. As the technology is advancing every day, there is a need for the advancement in the medical system as well.  Telehealth is the new and easy way of providing healthcare facilities to the patients online.

In the present times, almost everyone has a smartphone or a computer and almost everyone has access to the internet. And the lack of health care access to low-income residents in both rural and urban areas present a significant challenge in chronic disease treatment. So to make it easy for everyone, many health service-providing groups or companies are putting a step forward to give people easy and cost effective medical treatment facilities.

Virtual visits with a doctor can take place by video call, phone call or text message, or via the Web or a mobile app. Telehealth allows patients to contact doctors from long distances, ask for their advice and gain knowledge. It allows video conferencing to discuss a problem between patient and doctor, or between two clinicians.  Setting up reminders, intervention, patient monitoring and their remote admissions are also possible.

Telehealth requires both the patient and physician to go through a series of steps for standardized care to be delivered. Before meeting with a doctor, scheduling and transfer of a patient’s health record are extremely important. In fact, no appointment can be carried out without the physician having prior knowledge about the patient’s history. During the appointment, input can only be provided on observation from the physician only and information found on the patient’s record, all of which must be done in accordance with HIPPA.

Telehealth provides consumers with:
1. Fewer hospital readmissions
2. Life-saving diagnoses and treatments
3. Lower costs
4. Improved care
5. Doctor-patient engagement in rural areas
