Telemedicine

Telemedicine allows health care professionals to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients at a distance using telecommunications technology. The approach has been through a striking evolution in the last decade and it is becoming an increasingly important part of the American healthcare infrastructure.

 

Using telemedicine as an alternative to in-person visits has a host of benefits for patients and providers alike.
