Benefits of online visit

  • Through the Telehealth facility you are allowed effortless access to specialists regardless of location.
  • Online visits can offer you the support for self-management of health care without depending on any third party.
  • During an Telemedicine consultation, a remote physician “sees” the patient remotely using communications technology and special medical devices.
  • The telemedicine specialist can examine the patient, review vital signs and patient history; provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment. This minimizes or eliminates the need for travel for either the patient or the specialist.
  • Technology has the potential to improve the quality of health care and to make it accessible to more people.
  • Telehealth services can provide opportunities to make health care more efficient, better coordinated and closer to home.

Benefits of online visit

Telemedicine offers indispensable tools for home healthcare, remote patient monitoring, and disease management to patients in rural areas and also for those in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, maritime and aviation or war field settings. The Department of Telemedicine at KIMSHEALTH enables health care professionals to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients in remote locations using telecommunications technology. Our telemedicine team provides more efficient use of limited expert resources so they can “see” patients in multiple locations wherever they are needed without leaving the hospital. The telemedicine department at KIMSHEALTH offers effective disaster relief allowing healthcare delivery capability to move in quickly after a disaster. This allows the onsite telehealth providers rapid access to advanced expertise and capabilities for triage and care electronically when and where it is most needed.

Key features of Telemedicine include

  • Make health care accessible to people who live in rural or isolated communities.
  • Make telehealth services more readily available or convenient for people with limited mobility, time or transportation options.
  • Provide access to medical specialists.
  • Improve communication and coordination of care among members of a health care team and a patient.
  • A variety of technologies enable your doctor or health care team to monitor your health remotely like web-based or mobile apps for uploading information, such as blood glucose readings, blood pressure, lung function to your doctor or health care team.
