Telemedicine Brings
Doctors and Patients Together

When it comes to health care, technology will never replace the human factor, but, it has been said, that telemedicine “has the potential to extend the human touch and transform the way health care is delivered so everyone can have access to proper, affordable and convenient health care.” Secure Telemedicine removes the many barriers that currently exist between patients and physicians- logistical, economical and psychological - that discourages consumers from seeking needed preventative and/or ongoing health care.

Telemedicine is defined by the American Telemedicine Association as the “use of medical information exchanged from one place to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status. This includes providing direct consumer outreach and services such as patient consultations and use of the Internet and other technologies for consumer medical education, remote patient monitoring, online medical records, specialist referrals and much more.” It is a multi-billion dollar marketplace improving consumer health care around the globe.

The American Medical Association has reported that as many as 70% of all doctor visits are for information only or for matters that can be handled over the phone. Data shows that over 36 million Americans have been treated through telemedicine teleconsultations. This is much in the same way that traditional medicine is practiced every day where physicians respond to patients’ needs by telephone, evaluate their requests and information and take appropriate actions to improve the patient’s health.

Telemedicine is seeing an explosive growth as the American Medical Association along with new Telemedicine and e-prescribing laws passed by Congress bring more light to Telemedicine as an efficient and effective way to provide needed medical services.
