Transforming Healthcare Delivery with Telemedicine. Connect Patients and Providers Virtually Anywhere, Anytime with Healthvalors Technologies Telemedicine Solutions.
Telemedicine (mostly known as telehealth or telecare) brings health care access to rural locations by enabling practitioners to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients remotely using the latest telecommunications technology. Telemedicine allows patients to receive expert medical care without having to travel.
Many patients find it difficult to travel to clinics, hospitals, or doctor's offices for any number of reasons. Telemedicine can be a great option for patients with unique challenges or in situations where it is difficult to travel to receive traditional care.
Improved Access – Over 40 years have seen the use of telemedicine to provide healthcare services to patients in remote locations. Not only does telemedicine improve access to patients, but it also allows physicians and health facilities to expand their reach beyond their own offices. Given the 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 Efficiencies – : Reducing or containing healthcare costs is one of the most important reasons for funding and adopting telehealth technologies. Research demonstrates that telemedicine can lower healthcare costs and boost efficiency by improving chronic disease management, sharing health professional staffing, reducing travel times, and reducing or shortening hospital stays.
Improved Quality – Studies have consistently shown that the quality of healthcare services delivered via telemedicine is as good as those given in traditional in-person consultations.
Patient Demand – Consumers want telemedicine. The greatest impact of telemedicine is on the patient, their family, and their community. Using telemedicine technologies reduces the patient's travel time and associated stress.
