Telemedicine Services
Telemedicine, as defined by the American Telemedicine Association is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s clinical health status. A telemedicine visit can be conducted through multiple channels, including two-way video conference, e-mail, telephone, and other forms of telecommunications.
Services provided through telemedicine are generally no different than those provided on-site; and, often no separate coding is required for billing of remote services.
One of the greatest benefits of telemedicine is the convenience and cost-effectiveness that is offered to patients and practitioners. By eliminating the necessity for a physical visit to get medical advice or treatment, patients can access a healthcare professional without the wait time.
Benefits of Telemedicine
Improved Access
Given that there are provider shortages throughout the world, in both rural and urban areas, telemedicine has a unique capacity to increase service to millions of new patients.
Cost Efficiency
Reducing or containing the cost of healthcare is one of the most important reasons for funding and adopting telehealth technologies. Telemedicine has been shown to reduce the cost of healthcare and increase efficiency through better management of chronic diseases, shared health professional staffing, reduced travel times, and fewer or shorter hospital stays.
Improved Quality
Studies have consistently shown that the quality of healthcare services delivered via telemedicine are as good as those given in traditional in-person consultations.
Patient Demand
Consumers want telemedicine. Using telemedicine technologies reduces travel time and stress for the patient.
