Welcome to Secure Telemedicine, a cutting edge
approach to health care that connects doctors to patients
using the latest, state-of-the-art technology.

It's as Easy as 1 - 2 - 3

So, let's get started. First, for your safety and well-being, our doctors have requested that each "NEW" patient follow these guidelines:

1. GO online or give us a call and speak to one of our Patient Care Managers and complete our medical history and assessment (5 minutes).
2. If requesting medications—FAX a copy of your valid photo ID and your most recent medical records or fill out the Medical Records Release form to allow us to obtain the records for you. (Records must be within the last 12-24 months). If you are requesting a refill prescription of medications, the doctors require a history and physical once a year.  Click here to download the required forms.  If you do not have these items, a doctor or Patient Care Manager will discuss your options during pre initial consult.
   Please note: Your records should clearly document the condition for which you are requesting a consultation.
   *If you do not have these items, a doctor will discuss your options during the initial consult.
3. Have a PHONE consultation with one of the Telemedicine Physicians to discuss your case and treatment options.

Please note: If after reviewing your case the doctor determines that your condition requires medication, you will be given a valid prescription.

*Our physicians are not establishing a diagnosis and are not a substitute for your regular doctor.

Personalized treatment starts with our initial interaction with you because we care about your health first.

Although our Telemedicine Physicians can prescribe medications and request tests, Secure Telemedicine is not an online pharmacy or medical clinic and patients must qualify before being given any treatment plan. Our Telemedicine Physicians follow strict guidelines, as well as adhering to state and federal laws. First and foremost, we connect people who are seeking preventative, maintenance and long-term treatment for chronic conditions with more effective methods for treating and improving their health. We also provide e-health technology that allows doctors to interact with their patients regardless of distance or remote locations by using a combination of phone, fax, Internet and/or home health monitoring equipment and solutions otherwise known as telehealth or telemonitoring.

What is Telehealth or Telemonitoring?

Telehealth uses the Internet and telecommunications devices including telephones, fax machines, at-home exams, web based tools, home health monitoring equipment and solutions placed in patients’ homes to take their vital signs every day, remind the patient to take medication and answer simple questions that help the doctor know any change in the patient’s condition.

Secure Telemed

From a technological point of view, these are exciting times. Consider this: The very same kind of innovation that is used by NASA is available for delivering your healthcare information right to the doctor's office, the pharmacy, a nursing home or a private residence. That's the kind of technological innovation you get with Secure TeleMed.

Secure TeleMed programs can include integrated live video, voice and/or data communications system that easily and effectively delivers healthcare from any location using an existing residential telephone line to transmit data directly from point to point. This system makes it possible to access personalized, affordable and secure healthcare from any location. The benefits of using this telemonitoring system include:

• Reduced costs
• Ease of use & convenience
• Flexibility & accessibility
• Security
• Preventative
• Catch any issues early

When it comes to containing health care costs, consider this: By allowing more frequent and consistent consultations between remote patients and healthcare providers, the result is clear: Secure Telemedicine provides access to health tools and resources that saves lives and reduces costs associated with clinic and emergency room visits and hospitalizations by enabling preventative diagnoses and early intervention. Other benefits to be factored in include how much easier it is for both patients and caregivers. Also, since the system uses a phone line and an Internet connection to transmit a patient’s updated condition directly from point to point, it is completely secure and convenient.

Efficiency

Telemonitoring lets health care professionals work more efficiently since the system allows one doctor or nurse to observe the clinical health of patients and effectively direct medical attention to those who need it. The patient can log on and record their vital stats and report any changes in their condition or use devices that automatically transmit their vital health information. The data is transmitted via a plain telephone line and sent to a web-based system for review by clinicians. There, healthcare professionals can detect and address even the slightest abnormalities before they become serious, preventing emergency room visits and hospitalizations.

Telehealth uses telecommunications devices placed in patients' homes to take their vital signs every day, reminds the patient to take medication and answer simple questions about their condition in the comfort of their home.

A telehealth professional or nurse will train the patient to interpret his or her blood pressure, levels, pulse rates and weight with equipment installed in their home. The patient will transmit their results for review daily. If any readings are outside the parameters set by the physician, an immediate intervention can take place to address the patient's needs.
