description: Home Telehealth, the newest addition to the RSM Press telemedicine series, describes the medical treatments that can now take place in the home thanks to advances in telemedicine technology. As demand on hospitals increases, as well as concern about the secondary infections that can be contracted during visits, health experts and government advisors are looking at ways in which the long term sick, as well as acute patients, can be treated in alternate settings. This book covers what has been done to date, as well as practical guides to setting up a suitable home care facility and how this facility interacts with the health professional. Fully illustrated with colour images, and jam packed full of up to date information covering all the latest developments in telemedicine in the home, this book is an indispensable guide for all home telehealth providers, physicians, nurses, physical therapists and anyone contemplating a home telehealth application.
