Thanks to telemedicine, physicians have the wonderful opportunity to connect with clients wherever they are. Patients who once could not see a physician due to access to care issues, can now do so almost seamlessly. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans are seeking out telemedicine services. Telemedicine services keeps patients connected to their physician and allows the physician to treat the patient safely and effectively from their home or office. With telemedicine visits, patients can be evaluated virtually so there is no interruption in care of unnecessary risk of exposure to COVID-19.
Telemedicine is the use of telecommunications technology and information technology for clinical services. This term is frequently used interchangeably with telemedicine, but their meanings are slightly different. While telemedicine refers specifically to remote clinical services, telehealth can refer to remote non-clinical services, such as provider training, administrative meetings, and continuing medical education, in addition to clinical services.
Telemedicine first began on landline telephones. With the advancement of technology, telemedicine has grown to offer services in a variety of ways. This includes online portals managed by physicians and video software that allows for remote consultations or virtual doctor appointments.
Dedication Health’s telemedicine services are different from other on demand healthcare services in one big way. With some telemedicine services, you are simply through into a queue and connected with a physician you do not know. However, Dedication Health’s concierge physicians only sees their members. Patients see their personal doctor. This way, the physician already knows the patient and their medical history, allowing the physician to provide better care and a correct diagnosis and treatment. A strong, trusting patient-doctor relationship is important, even with telemedicine services and video doctor appointments. While the concierge medical practice still sees patients at their practice, they can now also treat their members virtually, wherever they are.
