B07. What may limit the use of telehealth?

Telehealth: Crossing Barriers

Telehealth, often used interchangeably with the term telemedicine, is an important use of technology in today’s healthcare. It is the use of a real time interactive communication between parties. Telemedicine includes remote clinical services, such as between a patient and a provider at another site. Telehealth uses electronic and telecommunications for long-distance healthcare, including education and nonclinical services. Technologies can include the internet, telephonic communication, videoconferencing, imaging, streaming media, and wireless communications. Benefits of telehealth include providing healthcare services to those patients in underserved or remote locations. This technology may also allow more patient independence, improve feelings of social isolation or depression, and promote patient dignity. Challenges can include limited assessment ability of the healthcare professional, inaccurate data provided by the patient, and difficulties with technology, including the patient’s comfort with its use.
