Telehealth providers monitor and evaluate patients’ health to offer better outcomes due to timely access to specialists, who apply the highest standards of care associated with their clinical expertise when evaluating a patient.
Telehealth works to avoid a patient’s unnecessary transfer to a different health facility when a remote specialist can determine the patient’s best care option. This option reduces the costs of patient transfers, referrals and lengths of stay. Additionally, timely access to the right physician can predict, reduce or prevent adverse effects.
