Understanding Telemedicine
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare practitioners have started to increase their virtual conference offerings — like video conferences — to continue to care for patients while following guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to mitigate the spread of the virus. This is just one example of telemedicine (also known as telehealth), which is distributing health-related services and information via electronic information and telecommunications, and the need is on the rise. In fact, according to McKinsey & Co., the use of telemedicine has increased by 11 percent since last year.
