Telehealth service – Bringing back the era of house-calling doctor

No doubt, people are looking for health care these days in a different way. With the widespread use of PC and mobile devices and the abundance of information on health care, the world of medicine is reaching new heights of excellence and access. Telehealth has taken the medical industry to a different world of health care, comfort and cost effectiveness.

The use of telecommunication for the promotion of telemedicine services covers three important factors: 

• ·         Improve patient access to quality health care
• ·         Save time in programming
• ·         Reduce costs associated with travel

Telehealth services address all three factors, giving patients the chance to see a physician specialist that cannot be located nearby, eliminating the programming delays waiting for a distant appointments, and associated travel time and costs, which, by a resident of a nursing home/rehabilitation facility, it can average up to 300 INR- 500 INR per trip.

For Medicare Beneficiaries, remote sites approved that can make use of Telehealth services are:

• ·         Hospitals and Nursing Homes
• ·         private clinic of a doctor or physician
• ·         critical access hospitals
• ·         Clinics in rural areas
• ·         Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC)
• ·         skilled nursing facilities
• ·         Within the hospital or CAH based kidney dialysis centers
