It gives the rural physician the tools and resources they need to provide a higher level of care than they used to do without. Because of that, telemedicine doesn't sacrifice quality treatment. In many cases, patients prefer this type of service.
Patient satisfaction is very high.
It's because of the convenience. We have cameras that point specifically on a certain spot of the body and can look at wounds, a knee, an ankle or skin rashes, to get a closer view than the room camera. Telemedicine also is cost-effective, eliminating the cost of transporting patients for a diagnosis or to receive treatment. Telemedicine is definitely changing the delivery of patient care in numerous ways. We can do a lot more than we do.
