Telemedicine/Telehealth: Close-up Care at a Social Distance

With the global pandemic of COVID-19 disrupting clinical and non-clinical care workflow, many of the care providers are turning to telehealth and telemedicine to help limit the spread of coronavirus by providing social distancing electronically at clinics, hospitals, and institutions, while delivering clinical and nonclinical services remotely.

Telehealth involves the remote delivery of health-related services and remote access to Electronic Health Records (EHR) through telecommunication technologies. Telehealth allows patient and clinician remote contact, care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring, and remote admissions. Not to be confused with telemedicine, telehealth is a broader scope of remote healthcare services than telemedicine.

Telemedicine involves the use of a variety of online communications to provide clinical services to patients without the need for an in-person visit. Telemedicine technology is often used for follow-up visits, diagnosis, medication management, specialist consultation, remote patient monitoring, and other clinical services that can be done remotely, specifically through video conference.
