Telehealth and telemedicine are terms that are often used interchangeably. Although they are not exactly the same, the main concept is the delivery of healthcare services using electronic communications when healthcare providers and patients are geographically separated (not in the same place). During a typical telehealth encounter, you communicate directly (“face to face”) with your healthcare provider via a live audio/video meeting, so they can manage your care remotely when an in-person office visit is not possible. Telehealth allows you to access healthcare from the safety of your own home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
