Imagine that you will have an appointment with your doctor. This meeting was scheduled for some time. But something annoying occurs when you’re driving to the clinic: traffic. In some ways, it is worse than usual, and regrettably, you need to cancel your appointment.

It is one barrier people must overcome in order to access medical care. Fortunately, there is a fix: availing a telehealth service.

Through virtual consultation, medical experts can provide care remotely, including diagnosis, assessments, and treatment recommendations. Patients can use it to treat minor skin ailments, common infections, mental health issues, and more.

Long-distance patient and physician interaction, patient care, health promotion/prevention, remote patient management, and monitoring can be done virtually. Here are a few advantages of telemedicine you might not be aware of:

• It improves access to healthcare in rural areas
  There may not be immediate access to healthcare services in remote areas or difficult-to-reach places. Telemedicine allows people in these locations to easily and rapidly connect with medical specialists using the internet or other communication technology. Our primary care membership includes telehealth services.
• It aids in lowering risks of infection
  The current pandemic emphasizes the crucial role that social isolation plays in halting the spread of disease inside a society. From the comfort of their homes, consumers can use telemedicine to stay in contact with their doctors and other healthcare providers.

These are just a few of the many benefits of services like telemedicine. For more information, please feel free to call Synergy Health Network at 224-341-5202.
