Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technology to provide clinical health care from a distance It has been used to overcome distance barriers and to improve access to medical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities
It is also used to save lives in critical care and emergency situations and is being encouraged during this critical time when social distancing is necessary in capping the spread of Covid 19
Telehealth is really instrumental in containing and treating disease particularly in a public health emergency said Megan OReilly a lobbyist with AARP the advocacy group for older people which pushed for the telemedicine provisions in Washington For older Americans this can help keep them safe
Telemedicine technologies permit communications between patient and medical staff with both convenience and fidelity as well as the transmission of medical imaging and health information data from one site to another
