Telehealth
Through remote services, expect faster access to specialists who can apply high standards of care when making clinical decisions.
Why Use Telehealth?
Nowadays, the use of social media and online digital services has made it more convenient for people to connect from the comforts of their homes. Whether using a mobile handheld device or a laptop computer, the use of electronic devices has allowed the sharing of important information using the internet.
Telehealth is the use of digital information and communication technologies to provide healthcare services in order to remotely manage a client’s healthcare needs. The services are normally offered during a live-video chat between two or more individuals (i.e. client and medical provider).
The simple use of telehealth technology makes scheduling medical appointments with a healthcare provider easy and accessible. The services offered through telehealth include, but are not limited to, the following: health education, remote monitoring of vital signs, clinician-client consultations (e.g. physician, nurse practitioners, social workers, therapists, etc.), group/individual therapy, and so much more. In addition, telehealth can be used to provide support, promote social skills and assist with teaching behavior change. Clients who elect to use the telehealth services may benefit from the convenience, easy accessibility, cost savings, and confidentiality through the use of our HIPAA compliance software.
