The Future of Patient Care.
Imagine being able to diagnose and treat a patient who is several hundred, or several thousand, miles away. Delivering medical care to someone across town, or across the world, is now possible through telemedicine.

Expand Your Patient Base.
Thanks to modern communications technology such as video-conferencing equipment, patients in remote areas or with limited access to services can have access to general practitioners or specialists without traveling great distances. For such individuals, telemedicine can mean the difference between receiving quality healthcare versus not receiving required medical attention.

No longer is your practice limited by geography.
Videoconferencing technology allows doctors to treat patients no matter where they are, allowing real-time interaction to occur just as it would for face-to-face medical care. “Store and Forward” systems capture necessary images and diagnostic information and forwards it to off-site providers to review at a later time. Whether it’s cardiology, oncology, internal medicine, orthopedics, neurology, dermatology, pediatrics, pulmonology or even psychiatry – all of these specialties can be performed remotely. “The world is becoming a smaller place due to technology,” says one practitioner. ”Our imaginations are the limitations.”

Provide high quality care.
In addition to video-conferencing equipment, specially adapted medical devices aid in an interactive examination. A teleotoscope, for example, allows the physician to “see” inside a patient’s ear. Images can be enlarged or freeze-framed, providing even superior diagnostic tools than examining the patient in person. A telestethoscope lets the doctor hear the patient’s heartbeat, and other equipment permits other vital signs to be monitored remotely.

X-rays and other images can be viewed as well. In addition, collaboration with specialists and other consulting physicians is facilitated by videoconferencing capabilities. In many states, reimbursement is the same as treating the patient in person. Besides saving patients travel time and money, or the anxiety of being separated from family members, telemedicine enables physicians to see more patients without the high cost of maintaining additional office locations.
