One of the first successes was when two health centers in Pennsylvania transmitted radiologic images via phone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any technological breakthrough, telemedicine has gone through several changes over the years. In the beginning, telemedicine was used mostly to connect physicians seeing one patient to specialists located elsewhere. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One major issue telemedicine faced was equipment expense. While the idea of telemedicine was liked by many, the growth was limited. The internet age has increased the practice of telemedicine. As many people now carry smartphones that are capable of producing high-quality photography and video, delivering remote healthcare to people in their homes, workplaces, and senior living homes is now possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What is Telemedicine?<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carecloud.com\/telemedicine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Telemedicine<\/a> allows healthcare professionals to provide clinical services using electronic communications and software, so patients do not have to come in for office visits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telemedicine technology is often used for: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic condition management \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow-up visits<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medication management <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specialist consultations <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other clinical services that can be conducted remotely <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How does Telemedicine differ from Telehealth?<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The terms telemedicine and telehealth are often used together; however, there are essential differences between the two. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telehealth includes services and technologies that not only provide patient care but improve the healthcare delivery system as a whole. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telemedicine includes remote clinical services, whereas telehealth can provide remote non-clinical services, such as administrative meetings, continuing education for healthcare providers and provider training in addition to remote clinical services. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Telemedicine Benefits \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telemedicine provides benefits to patients and providers. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Patient Benefits Include:<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less time away from work \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No travel time or expense <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children and elder visits are easier for caregivers <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not having to travel when feeling ill <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less exposure to germs \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Healthcare Provider Benefits Include:<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less missed appointments <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ability to compete with retail health clinics and online providers <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better patient follow up and improved health for patients <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ease of managing chronic conditions <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private payer reimbursement <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased revenue <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How Telemedicine is Used Every Day<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telemedicine is being used in many ways; here are a few examples. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>1. Preventative Care<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telemedicine connects patients and providers to help with things such as quitting smoking and <a href=\"https:\/\/calculator-online.net\/weightloss-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">using a weight loss calculator<\/a>, which are both first steps to preventing heart disease and many other conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Follow-up Visits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow-up is vital for patients to receive the best care possible. However, many patients cancel or miss these appointments. Providing a remote option is helpful for patients, reducing the number of no-shows and increasing health outcomes. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Chronic Disease Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic disease management is a challenge for our health care system. Using telemedicine to help manage patients with chronic conditions makes it easier for them to receive care, while not having to deal with the stresses of coming to several appointments that are necessary for some conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. School or Daycare Visits \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physicians can conduct remote visits with children who become ill at school or daycare, determine the urgency of the case and provide caregivers and parents with instructions and reassurance. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>5. Supporting Assisted-Living Centers<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When problems happen at night or on the weekends in assisted living centers, many residents end up in the hospital as no other options are available. By utilizing telemedicine, on-call doctors can remotely assess the situation and decide if hospitalization is the best course of action. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Telemedicine Reimbursement<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provider reimbursements are dependent on state legislation. A few states mandate that private payers reimburse the same amount for telemedicine that they would for in-person care. The reality is that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most states with reimbursement mandates leave this decision up to the private payers.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> However, most private payers do reimburse at levels equivalent to in-person visits. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Telemedicine Privacy and Security<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telemedicine is subject to <a href=\"https:\/\/carecloud.com\/continuum\/hipaas-stance-on-doctors-texting-patients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HIPAA regulations<\/a>. The technology used in telemedicine must use data encryption to protect patient data. Consumer video services such as Facetime do not meet the standards. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Is Telemedicine Easy to Use?<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telemedicine technology must be easy for both patients and providers to use. Telemedicine solutions strive to be simple for healthcare providers to set up and as easy to use as the smart devices patients use every day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telemedicine use is growing rapidly in the United States, making healthcare more convenient for both providers and patients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"display: none;\" data-sumome-listbuilder-embed-id=\"63167955acecc7c017d1349e21976b34c69d1681cdcbe88c9a25211c5006fd11\">DUMMYTEXT<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telemedicine started in the 1950s when a few hospital systems and university medical centers were looking for ways to share images and information over the telephone.
