What is Telemedicine?

Telemedicine is simply the practice of medicine by way of phone or video call communication, primarily used when in-person communication between doctor and patient is not possible or not recommended. The sheer importance of telemedicine cannot be overstated. By March 2020, when the United States began to see a significant uptick in coronavirus cases, telemedicine quickly became one of the most common methods for doctor and patients to communicate. It also became the most preferred method.

In fact, a Massachusetts General Hospital study https://www.healthitanswers.net/telemedicine-vs-in-person-visits-which-is-higher-quality-2/ showed that 62% of patients felt that telemedicine visits were more effective than in-person office visits. The most common reason provided…the telemedicine visit was more efficient when the patient did not have to expend travel time in addition to the typical waits experienced at the office. The second most common reason…the patient felt that the telemedicine experience was much more personal and detailed than an in-person office visit.
