Telemedicine Offers Additional Care Options

Telemedicine is a rapidly expanding health-care field that lets patients access professionals from across the country. Telemedicine is often referred to as a video visit, e-visit or virtual appointment. Each of these terms refers to video conferencing between a patient and a provider instead of a traditional in-person visit.

Telemedicine is simply a patient appointment with a provider using audio-video on a computer screen. Similar technology, such as Facetime and Skype, have helped families and individuals connect with one another over vast distances. This technology brings more health-care providers to rural areas and offers access to specialists who are difficult to find.
