Telehealth is a one of the most promising and immediately viable approaches to improving the way
care is delivered – all with a view to meeting the evolving expectations and needs of patients, care
providers and administrators. Information and communication technologies are combined to bridge distances:
- Between clinicians and patients in the delivery of healthcare services
- For triage purposes
- To enable clinical collaboration
- For instructor-led or computer-based medical training
Telehealth should not be a separate form of healthcare within the system; it should integrate
into standard operations. It seamlessly incorporates along the continuum of care into
clinician work flows, patient care plans and consultations among clinicians, patients and
administrators.
