  3. 5 The Changing Landscape| How Does Telehealth Help? Improved Access

    Bring healthcare services to patients in distant locations; Given the provider shortages throughout the world--in both rural and urban areas-- telemedicine has a unique capacity to increase service volume Cost Efficiencies Telemedicine has been shown to reduce the cost of healthcare and increase efficiency through better management of chronic diseases, shared health professional staffing, reduced travel times, and fewer or shorter hospital stays. Patient Demand Over the past 15 years, many studies have documented patient satisfaction and support for telemedical services. Such services offer patients the access to providers that might not be available otherwise. Improved Quality Studies have consistently shown that the quality of healthcare services delivered via telemedicine are as good those given in traditional in-person consultations.

  4. 7 What is Telemedicine? •Traditionally, we define Telemedicine as remote

    communication from healthcare professional to healthcare professional. This is typically performed via Tele-health video solutions and leverages the ability to triage patients and/or provide urgent care. •Telemedicine has expanded to encompass more use-cases through innovation and also from addressing needs in the market.
  5. 8 As Telemedicine Adoption becomes more widespread, more and more

    conventional issues can be solved using technology. Consumer Model – Enables patients and doctors to communicate via video, messages, and for patients to access their medical records. This increases patient convenience for general wellness issues, and increases hospital revenue for the additional virtual visits. Second Opinion – Provides patients a streamlined web-based platform for seeking a second opinion for more serious illness. The platform requests all necessary records and patient information in order for the Second Opinion Specialist to provide the most accurate second opinion for the patient. Remote Patient Monitoring – Proactively monitoring patients suffering from chronic conditions helps to prevent serious emergencies and allows for real-time clinical interventions. This, in turn, saves the hospital more than the program typically costs by reducing readmission. Kiosk – With too many use-cases to list, Kiosk allows for expanding access to specialists utilizing a combination of video and vital-taking. This equipment may also be mobilized for Community Paramedic, Home Health, and disaster relief response, just to name a few.
  6. 9 Concerns about Telemedicine Adoption Hospitals are slow to adopt

    because they are worried about workflow disruption. While some Telemedicine solutions are strictly off-the-shelf solutions, there are good quality Telemedicine solutions that work to customize their solution to their client’s existing workflow.
  7. 10 Concerns about Telemedicine Adoption Security concerns exist for PHI

    transmitted on the Internet. Video, vitals, and EMR integrations are all just as secure as the hospital network, if not more so, in utilizing Telemedicine – as long as the platforms are HIPAA & HITECH compliant.
  8. 11 Concerns about Telemedicine Adoption Small and large practices alike

    do not want to run the risk of early adoption of new technology, opting instead to wait until proven technology is available. Many hospitals are now incentivized to have Telemedicine in exchange for better rates. While some simply utilize video to check the box, others are diving head-first into the different use-cases because they save money and create better patient outcomes.
  9. 12 Summary Telemedicine is a field of technology and medicine

    that is still in its infancy. Early adopters will undoubtedly set the trends and direction that this market will go. While there are a set number of use-cases for telemedicine to be integrated into care systems currently, eventually, it won’t be a matter of difficulty finding a use for telemedicine. It will instead be more difficult to find a use that telemedicine is unable to enhance.
