Patient
Constantly in and out of the hospital
for treatment of congestive heart failure, this patient helps
manage her illness from home using American TeleCare telehealth
technology. "I have kept myself in check because I knew
they were going to check up on me." |
Family
The patient's daughter is relieved that
her mother's blood pressure and other vitals are frequently
monitored by clinicians. "It gave my mom kind of an added
lift in her life to know that she was being a part of her
health care." |
Clinician
Telemedicine makes it possible for clinicians
to interact with patients more often, improving their ability
to provide timely care. "We are able to see them (patients)
on a more frequent basis. We can intervene the same day and
make a difference." |
