What Is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine, telehealth, or virtual visit can be used interchangeably. The difference is that telehealth uses electronic communication technologies like video, telephone, or instant messaging to connect long-distance patients with healthcare and education.
Telemedicine deals more specifically with remote clinical services between a physician and a patient. In other words, telemedicine is when healthcare services are performed by a doctor remotely using technology.
Why Telemedicine is the future
Telemedicine is one of the major emerging technologies in healthcare and support for it has been growing rapidly.
People who are too ill to visit a clinic, lack adequate transportation, or simply prefer the convenience of telemedicine can now get advice from a doctor without having to go to a clinic – lowering the number of patients in the waiting rooms.
The variety of communication technologies that exist make telemedicine services accessible to anyone with a device that connects to the internet.
Telemedicine does come with some limitations. If patients don’t have access to specialized equipment, doctors won’t be able to help patients in real-time. However, most medical queries don’t require that and a virtual assessment will suffice.
Telemedicine can also be a useful triage system to determine who does need to be seen face to face, eliminating crowding and wait times in hospitals and clinics.
Telemedicine will help to close gaps in health care coverage. Sometimes not enough health infrastructures exist in vulnerable communities. A smartphone or computer could help to bridge that gap and provide access to more patients.
As patients and doctors become more acquainted with telemedicine and technology continues to improve, we can expect to see more benefits associated with telemedicine.
Benefits of Telemedicine
The benefits of telemedicine are tremendous and greatly outweigh the cons. Some benefits include:
Cost savings: Reducing the costs of healthcare is one of the most important reasons for funding and adopting telehealth technologies. Telemedicine can help reduce costs for patients through reduced travel times and fewer or shorter hospital stays. It can also help hospitals and clinics by automating administrative roles and responsibilities, which make up a large percentage of employees in the average physician’s office.
Quality health care: Telemedicine would better the quality of care by making it easier for the providers to do follow-ups with their patients. It also makes it easy to monitor patients remotely and respond to queries in a timely manner. Particularly in mental health and ICU care, having access to timely, quality care will improve patient satisfaction greatly.
Better access, more consistent engagement: Telemedicine makes it easy for primary care doctors to consult other medical specialists on the rare patient cases, and also allowing patients to engage with a needed specialist, no matter their location. This easy access will lead to more consistent engagement, as patients will be getting most of their cases attended to or questions answered hence developing a stronger doctor-patient relationship and patients will feel empowered to manage their care.
Patient demand and satisfaction: Telemedicine will account for patient demand around the world. It’ll allow patients to access to healthcare providers that might not be available where the patients reside. Telemedicine can also eliminate the need to travel long distances to access healthcare facilities.
Other benefits include the ability to involve school-based telehealth, as well as prison-based telehealth, creating a safer environment for students, prisoners, and healthcare professionals alike. Telemedicine is even changing up pet healthcare. The possibilities of telemedicine are endless. As the technology continues to evolve, the goal still remains the same: to provide quality, equitable healthcare to all.
