Access to telehealth services increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many individuals found that meeting with a healthcare provider digitally offered quality care without having to travel for a face-to-face appointment.
Telemedicine Provides Access to Specialists
Individuals who live in remote areas where major medical centers do not exist only need an Internet connection to see a specialist. Visiting with a specialist online means more timely treatment, especially when a patient is at risk due to a serious medical condition. The specialist can confer with a local physician regarding treatments that can offer a patient a better outcome.
Telemedicine Saves Time
Seeing a doctor digitally can save valuable time. There is no sitting in traffic or worrying about being late for appointments. Patients do not need to take time off work to visit their doctors. With a smartphone, tablet, or computer, it is easy to schedule a visit while at home or during work breaks.
