Session 10: Telehealth & Remote Care Services

Description:

Telehealth & Remote Care Services is a modern approach to healthcare delivery that leverages digital technologies, telecommunications, and virtual platforms to provide medical care and consultation at a distance. It enables patients to access primary, specialty, and preventive care without the need for in-person visits, improving convenience, efficiency, and accessibility. Telehealth services include real-time video consultations, remote patient monitoring, mobile health applications, and secure communication channels for patient-provider interactions. By integrating these services with electronic health records and clinical workflows, telehealth enhances care continuity, supports chronic disease management, promotes early intervention, and empowers patients in self-care.
