Because telehealth is changing how healthcare delivery is understood, there are a lot of preconceived notions about what works, according to an article on the HealthcareITNews website.
Myths about telehealth include:
• Telehealth is just about urgent care. Many healthcare organizations are incorporating telehealth into specialty care, chronic care and follow-up care programs.
• Providers can just get telehealth through an electronic medical record (EMR) vendor. A sophisticated telehealth platform is geared to attract new patients and engage current patients. The EMR is about managing known patients.
• Telehealth utilizes too many IT resources. With a telehealth mobile software development kit, a healthcare brand a healthcare provider can embed telehealth visits into their existing digital health patient service, and have it up and running in weeks.
