What is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine uses video, email, telephone and other telecommunication solutions to conduct clinical consultations between a doctor and a patient. This allows health care professionals to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients at a distance through technology. Telemedicine technology is often used during follow up visits, management of chronic diseases and other clinical services. These services are all provided via HIPPA compliant secure video and audio connections at the doctors offices.
