Are you missing this growth opportunity for your practice?

Considered the most efficient communication method for remote care in rural locations; telehealth may now also be a mainstream option for your patients. Here is why:
  • Remote consultations are more cost effective than walk in appointments
  • Consultations can occur anywhere there is secure internet access
  • No more waiting in the waiting room with sick patients
  • Prescriptions called straight to the pharmacy
  • Appointments with credentialed healthcare specialists
  • Secure, encrypted communications
  • Monitoring and on-going care from home
Start up costs can be minimal, with the vast array of laptops available with built in cameras, and secure, HIPAA compliant software solutions, this could be a valuable addition to your medical practice.
There are obviously many factors to take into account when considering adding telemedicine to your medical practice— licensure laws, HIPAA compliance, reimbursement, etc — fear not, there are organizations working hard to promote change and minimize potential barriers.
The possibilities for the future are endless. Hardware and software technology continues to advance at an amazing rate. Broadband video transmissions are becoming more data efficient, and these advances will open up the potential for standard care to be delivered through video communication.
