First let’s talk about what telemedicine is.

Telehealth refers to a broader scope of remote health care services. Telemedicine is more specific to clinical visits at a distance using two-way communication.

Telemedicine is under the same requirements as office visits for compliance with state and federal laws using best practice guidelines to provide safe patient care.

Let’s discuss some advantages and disadvantages of telemedicine.

ADVANTAGES of telemedicine:

• • Can treat 90% of your acute or chronic health conditions.
  • Is an efficient and cost-effective way to treat your chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, asthma, depression, anxiety, and others. You can be monitored closely to discuss lab results, tests, diet, medications, lifestyle, and more.

DISADVANTAGES of telemedicine:

Telemedicine is not for you if you:

• • Have an emergency situation and need immediate in-person care.
  • Don’t have access to a smart device with internet connection.
  • Can’t navigate the technology and you don’t have anyone to help you.

You also need to keep in mind:

• • Telemedicine visits are vulnerable to privacy and security risks. Telemedicine platforms are required by law to be highly encrypted and in accordance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards and regulations. But there is no 100% guarantee of safety from hackers or data breaches.
  • Possible technical difficulties during the visit, you may lose internet connection, your video or microphone may stop working.
