Telehealth 101
When we talk about telehealth, we talk about how digital communication and technology can be used to provide healthcare services remotely. In America, this modern approach to healthcare has been a solution for 54% of American adults.
Patients have to provide their doctor with specific information about their health, height, family medical history and other needed data for the virtual appointment, and in return the doctor will give them guidelines and a tailored treatment plan according to their needs.
With Telehealth, medical services become an easy access for those who are disabled, have mobility problems, live in a rural area, presenting a contagious disease or simply have transportation and time problems.
Telehealth’s Benefits
The fact that it’s a remote service is already a benefit, but there’s more advantages to telehealth:
- Provide healthcare for rural communities or patients that live across the country.
- Keep others safe from infectious illnesses.
- Bring primary care services for multiple conditions.
- Make services accessible for those with mobility difficulties.
- Offer remote opportunities for medical specialists.

Imagine getting a high-quality healthcare service without the compromise of the travel costs and a tight time schedule一well, you won’t have to just imagine it anymore. Telehealth can provide you the same quality of a traditional appointment for an economical price.
4. Primary and Specialist Care
During a virtual visit with your primary care provider, they can get input from a specialist if needed, instead of coordinating an in-person referral. Technology makes it easier to communicate in real time with healthcare professionals that can contribute to your diagnosis and treatment.
