Sometimes an in-person medical appointment may not be possible—or may not be necessary. Tele-medicine provides another way for patients to connect with their healthcare provider without leaving home.
Care One Health offers tele-medicine to provide convenient access to healthcare when a virtual visit is clinically appropriate.
What Is Tele-Medicine?
Tele-medicine allows patients to meet with a healthcare provider through a virtual visit using available communication technology.
It can provide patients with access to appropriate medical attention while they remain in the comfort and convenience of their home.
How Tele-Medicine Can Help
-
Convenient Access to Care – Virtual visits can make it easier for patients to connect with their healthcare provider without traveling to a medical office.
-
Support Ongoing Healthcare – Tele-medicine may be used as part of ongoing care when a virtual visit is appropriate for the patient’s needs.
-
Stay Connected With Your Provider – Virtual appointments can help patients maintain communication with their healthcare team between in-person visits when appropriate.
-
Reduce Unnecessary Travel – For certain healthcare needs, a virtual visit may provide an alternative when traveling to a healthcare facility is difficult or unnecessary.
When May Tele-Medicine Be Appropriate?
Tele-medicine may be considered when:
- An in-person visit is not possible
- An in-person visit is not necessary
- A patient’s healthcare needs can appropriately be addressed through a virtual visit
- Continued communication with the care team is needed
Whether tele-medicine is appropriate depends on the patient’s individual circumstances and clinical needs.
