Telehealth

Telehealth is secure video access that allows for consultation with a physician or provider off-site. Secure video streaming allows the provider and the patient to talk face-to-face.

Whether patients are in a remote rural area or are in a large urban community, telehealth provides access to quality healthcare faster, which is a leading factor in improved patient engagement and better outcomes. Patients want the same online access and convenience from their health care experience that they already get from other online services like banking and shopping. Telehealth offers similar benefits and can enhance patient satisfaction and lower the cost of care by reducing the use of high cost care settings (i.e. Emergency Department) for low acuity healthcare needs.
