The TeleHealth Movement

7/7/2017

0 Comments

 
So much of life, work, family and entertainment now takes place online, so it’s no surprise healthcare delivery is increasingly happening online as well.

There were 1 million virtual doctor visits in 2015

Why?
  • Cost reduction. For both preventative care and acute incidents, telemedicine has been shown to reduce the number of emergency room visits.
  • Technology is a prime enabler of telehealth growth. Video conferencing applications have become so sophisticated the virtual has actually become close to physical. People are becoming comfortable using applications like Face Time and Skype.
  • For millennials the desire for telemedicine will come naturally.
  • Because it is so convenient people will gravitate toward it.
A 2016 survey reported by the national Institute of Health showed between 94-99% was very satisfied with telehealth.
Who can benefit?
  • For those of you who have Northwell CareConnect or OSCAR have the opportunity of utilizing telemedicine.
  • There is no charge for the telemedicine visit.
