Telemedicine can make it easier to get the advice you need, no matter where you are.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

2 Minute Read:<\/p>\n

Life can be busy and unpredictable. And whether it is for an unexpected illness or a routine consultation, it can be hard to find the time and the resources to get the health care you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from a lack of time, circumstances such as transportation, work, or family obligations can make it difficult for patients to see their doctors for consultations and follow-up appointments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of this, some care providers are finding new, innovative ways to use <\/span>remote technologies to bridge the gap between patients and their much-needed care<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Should I Know About Telemedicine?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Telemedicine is used to provide remote health care with videoconferencing, remote monitoring, electronic consults, and wireless communications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Telemedicine <\/a>first developed in the 1950s as medical centers experimented with more efficient ways to share medical information across facilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As video and telecommunication technology improved, so has the capability and efficiency of telemedicine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Telemedicine is primarily used for consultations and follow-up appointments. If you have a serious medical emergency, visit your nearest hospital immediately.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What Are the Benefits of Telemedicine for Patients?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Telemedicine<\/a> offers patients ease and convenience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the proper screen and internet access, telemedicine can be utilized virtually anywhere. This is especially beneficial for patients with small children or those who are caregivers themselves.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is also an added benefit of privacy for patients who may have difficulty being in a public place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure that patients are safe, and their information is private, providers take care to utilize secure video and audio that are compliant with HIPAA regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether your limitation is time or transportation, telemedicine allows you the opportunity to take time for yourself and prepare for your wellness treatment. Telemedicine consultations and follow-up appointments can be applied to your <\/span>cosmetic procedure<\/span><\/a> (such as BOTOX\u00ae Cosmetic), your <\/span>hormone replacement therapy<\/span><\/a>, or with <\/span>specialty testing<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are The Benefits of Telemedicine for Providers?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Telemedicine<\/a> can be just as beneficial for providers as it is for patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Telemedicine makes follow through and consultations much more accessible, which results in fewer cancellations and better long-term care for patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Telemedicine allows health care providers to see more patients with a faster turnover, which causes a boost in revenue. Telemedicine can offer relief for medical facilities that are understaffed and cannot meet their patient demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
