Telemedicine is on the Rise During the Covid-19 Outbreak
VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS RESTON
In order to best serve the needs of patients and reduce the spread of COVID-19, healthcare providers are rethinking how they can use telemedicine technology to deliver care.
This has prompted many doctor’s offices, clinics, and hospitals to offer virtual visits so they can triage and treat individuals remotely.
Continue reading to learn why telemedicine is on the rise during the COVID-19 outbreak and its critical role in managing the pandemic.
WHAT IS TELEMEDICINE?
Telemedicine is a type of medical technology that allows patients and providers to communicate face to face and in real time through a computer, tablet, or phone.
It is especially helpful during a crisis like the coronavirus outbreak as it provides the option of virtual consultations, from the comfort and safety of your own home.
WHY TELEMEDICINE IS ON THE RISE DURING THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK
Telemedicine is on the rise during the COVID-19 outbreak because it allows medical professionals to safely screen and treat patients for coronavirus and prevent further spreading of the disease.
By offering virtual visits, doctors are able to educate people about minimizing their risk and address worrisome symptoms, while keeping patients calm and away from crowded waiting rooms and emergency rooms.
At the same time, vulnerable patients can utilize virtual visits for routine care or specialist visits, without leaving their homes or potentially exposing themselves to the virus.
That being said, it is important to acknowledge that telemedicine does not allow providers to actually perform coronavirus testing.
However, medical professionals can triage patients so that they receive the appropriate care in a timely manner.
