800 TeleMed For Patients

800 TeleMed™ Simply defined, telemedicine allows patients to communicate with a healthcare provider using technology, as opposed to physically visiting a doctor's office or hospital. With telemedicine, you can discuss symptoms, medical issues, and more with a healthcare provider in real time using video, online portals, and email. Using telemedicine, you can receive a diagnosis, learn your treatment options, and get a prescription. In cases where it’s necessary, healthcare providers can even monitor readings from medical devices remotely to keep an eye on your condition.

Telemedicine isn’t appropriate for emergency situations like heart attack or stroke, cuts or lacerations, or broken bones that require X-rays, splints, or casts. Anything that requires immediate, hands-on care should be handled in person. However, telemedicine is very useful for simple issues and follow-up consultations.

For instance, if you suspect that a cut may be infected, you can schedule a virtual consultation with your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms. If you’re on vacation and think you’re coming down with strep throat, you can communicate with your primary care physician. If you need a birth control medication, you can chat through your needs and get a same-day prescription.

It’s helpful for a variety of other health issues including psychotherapy and tele-dermatology, which offers consultations of moles, rashes, etc. Colds and flu, insect bites, sore throats, diarrhea, and pink eye are some other common issues addressed using telemedicine.

800 TeleMed™ helps to overcome barriers of communication and access with patients in real time while collecting clinical data. By improving the patient engagement and adherence to treatment plans, patients will see improved outcomes and increased patient satisfaction. Patients will see earlier interventions and have more autonomy of their care.

800 TeleMed™ puts the patient at the forefront of their care through continuous engagement and endless support.
