Telemedicine Leads the Way in Access to Quality Healthcare

Over the past 30 years of development and use, telehealth has consistently proved to be a high-quality approach to healthcare. It is the most convenient use of time for both patients and doctors, and with secure modern technologies, it is also one of the best ways to collect and communicate personal health information safely.

With these combined strengths, telemedicine provides greater access to quality healthcare for all communities. Whether you live in a city or a rural location, telemedicine leads the way in giving Americans access to excellent care.

Patient-centered quality healthcare

Telemedicine programs improve healthcare access by bringing the doctor's appointment straight into an employee's home. Using a telemedicine service, a patient can consult a doctor, receive a diagnosis or treatment plan, and obtain prescriptions.

According to the American Telemedicine Association, studies have consistently shown that the quality of healthcare services delivered via telehealth is as good as traditional in-person consultations.

Through technology, time and location are no longer barriers to excellent healthcare. Care is no longer geographically bound, and virtual visits produce a huge reduction in time spent.

Expanded use of healthcare services

Because telemedicine increases access to both primary and urgent care needs, employees use healthcare services more. With less waiting and no travel, many patients stay more engaged in preventive and curative care. When healthcare happens in an employee's own home, they use it more readily and frequently.

Where there are provider shortages, telemedicine creates an unprecedented opportunity to serve millions of people across rural, urban, and suburban communities. Professionals can see more patients in a day virtually than in person, and patients gain access without driving across town.

There is also greater cost efficiency. Advances in broadband access, connected devices, electronic health records, and data analytics have created a surge in both the capability and the cost efficiency of telehealth services. Lower-cost care benefits employers and employees alike, keeping patients engaged in preventive care instead of waiting too long and ending up in a high-cost emergency room.
