How does telehealth work?

Telehealth is simply the ability to meet with your health practitioner without the need for an in-person office visit. While telehealth is definitely a popular option today, it’s nothing new. Ever since most American homes were equipped with a telephone, patients have been connecting with their practitioners remotely.

Thanks to advancements in medical and communications technology, today’s telehealth offers a much more in-depth and rewarding connection. While not every issue can be addressed remotely, you may be surprised to learn what can be accomplished through a telehealth visit.

What are the benefits of telehealth?

Convenience is a prime benefit of telehealth. Whether you’re an executive, a road warrior, or simply a busy parent, the chance to get the care you need from the comfort of home or the convenience of an airport business lounge is undeniable.

For people who are medically frail or have a compromised immune system, telehealth offers a safe way to receive care without the risks associated with an office visit. This is a wonderful benefit for people who might forego care when faced with the challenges of making their way across town and sitting in a crowded waiting room.

How should I prepare for my telehealth visit?

Taking a few minutes to prepare can help you get the most out of your telehealth visit. Begin by thinking about the location where you’ll have your meeting. Try to find a spot that is out of the way of household or office traffic.

Look for a quiet area that also offers good lighting. Set up next to a window for natural light, or consider moving a lamp to ensure that your practitioner is able to see you clearly.

Be sure to choose a location that is close to a power outlet, so battery life does not distract you during your appointment. Telehealth visits can be done using a desktop computer, a laptop, tablet, or even a video-enabled cell phone.

As with any medical visit, it helps to create a list of any questions you might have or topics you’d like to cover. Have a notepad ready to take down information throughout the visit.
