Telehealth has been a viable form of healthcare for years; however, prior to the novel Covid-19 pandemic, a large percentage of Americans had not ever considered utilizing Telehealth services. Providers and patients were scrambling during the initial Covid-19 quarantine to both give and receive essential health services, in turn, making Telehealth the only safe option. Still not know what Telehealth is? Keep reading for a brief introduction.
Telehealth has been widely utilized in more rural settings over the past decade, but will now occupy a $30 billion dollar corner of the healthcare market in 2020 according to the CDC. Why? It is accessible. 95% of Americans own a smartphone or device of some kind and have become accustomed to the convenience of life in the palm of their hand. Telehealth fits this on-demand lifestyle.
Telehealth is easiest defined as the transformation of health care with the use of technology to connect licensed healthcare providers to patients for non-life-threatening conditions. Technology has brought Telehealth to life. Services can look like: live video conferencing for non-life-threatening illness, remote patient monitoring for issues like high blood pressure or prescription refills, and mobile health apps to help people on track.
Telehealth is convenient and accessible. Provides 24/7 care with a licensed care provider both domestically and internationally. Yet, most importantly, Telehealth limits potential infectious exposures.
