Telemedicine:

Telemedicine is a general term that covers all the ways you and your doctor can use technology to communicate without being in the same room. It includes phone calls, video chats, emails, and text messages. It is also referred to as telehealth, digital medicine, e-health, or m-health (for “mobile”). 

Patients and healthcare providers can communicate with electronic technology to  diagnose and treat signs and symptoms of disease. All kinds of ailments, medication refills and chronic diseases can be managed with telemedicine appointments. There are many diagnoses and treatment plans that can be done without a physical examination. 

Telemedicine appointments are convenient for patients. Patient benefits are: 

• No time away from work or school 
• No travel time or expenses 
• Less interference with family life or caregiver time for children or elderly
• Privacy 
• No exposure to other potentially infectious patients in the office 

Telemedicine has improved access to care and improved cost effectiveness and may be an excellent solution for your health care
