Telehealth providers have
revolutionized the medical field. The trend was started in the United States
and is now being followed around the world. This is a perfect combination of
medical facilities with technology embedded in it for better medical options.
Majority of Telehealth
providers have American board certified physicians who are available
for any advice and diagnosis for the patients. Patients can have 24*7*365 days
access to these virtual Doctors.
Telemedicine services are convenient,
easy to use yet affordable with anytime and anywhere mantra.
If we look at the total cost which
a patient pays for giving visit is more than what the majority of American’s or
people around the world think. The cost of giving visit to a doctor is much
more because it includes many more things apart from fees that we pay to the
doctor. The total cost includes time that it took to travel to a doctor along
with the travel expenses + time taken to fix an appointment with the doctor
before giving him visit + time which we spend coming back to our workplace after
meeting doctor + work hours that we missed for giving visit to the doctor+ time
that we had to wait in order to meet the doctor which possibly would be spend
either in the waiting room or in the queue+ the time we spend with doctor which
also should be included + the time Physician takes to look at your previous
reports before giving some diagnosis. If we combine all these things together it
comes out to be huge loss of time and money.
In this fast paced world, options keep
on coming through technology. To make human life better and luxurious
inventions brings new things to life. Telehealth physician is one such invention
wherein a virtual doctor curtails the loss of time and money which happen when
we give visit to the doctors
Telehealth works for patients via technology. The access to this
technology embedded doctor is very easy and fast. The fees in much lesser compared
to what we pay to the doctor.

The
technology is getting popular and viral at great pace to the corners
of America and other countries are following the trend to give convenience to
their patients.
Patients now with this technology
have the access to the American board certified doctors throughout the country
with the help of email, telephone or through video. The cost effective
consultation of these certified doctors is available for detailed discussion.
Before giving the diagnosis or before giving patient their treatment plan they
look at the historical data of their health problems and then they give them
prescriptions.
Even there are informational
consultations available for the customers who are looking for general
information or advices through mails or telephone. The emails and telephone
informational queries get answered, immediately in case of telephone and it
takes few minutes time to get emails answered by them.
Many of the people might not know
but the majority of doctor’s visits can be curtailed with a telemedicine
consultation program, for normal patients excluding the patients those of them
needing extreme care. It can be used as primary care or next to some first aid
cases. Few of the cases that might not need physical presence of doctors
include:
Allergies
Stomach Virus
Nausea
cold
Flu
Sore Throat
Acne
Headache
Rashes
Constipation
Fiver
Vomiting and many more.
The quality Telemedicine plan can curtail 40% of Emergency Room and 70% of
doctors office visits as per the AMA (American Medical Association) and if
these numbers are brought down with the help of technology than this will bring
revolution in saving money and time of the people and doctors both.
