What is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine is a medical practice that involves a health care provider prescribing or ordering a medical procedure to a patient who is not physically in the clinic or hospital. Telemedicine is an increasingly important part of the modern healthcare system, when compared with physical visits, when a patient can be consulted from home, from a remote location, when an illness is serious or when there is a specialist in a remote location.
Telemedicine uses the Internet to provide healthcare services to people who do not have another way to access healthcare services. Telemedicine allows for people who are unable to travel to a hospital to receive healthcare services through the Internet. It is an increasingly popular way for healthcare providers to provide services to their patients.
Telemedicine is one of the fastest growing health care assets in the Philippines. Because of strong government support, telemedicine has expanded to the point where it is now the fastest growing health care service in the country.
