Telemedicine has a much narrower scope of meaning than does telehealth, which is a far more general term. Specifically, telemedicine refers to education over a distance and the provision of health care services by using telecommunication technology. Telemedicine is applied to and refers to the use of information technologies and electronic communication that is used to provide remote clinical service access to patients. An example of telemedicine is the digital transmission of medical imaging, remote medical diagnosis and evaluations, and video call consultations with medical specialists.
There are three main categories of telemedicine, which include remote monitoring and real-time interactive services. The most prominent telemedicine service is real-time interactive services, which are also known as telemedicine consultations. Telemedicine services can include phone and online visits via video calls – during these calls, the medical history of the patient has been discussed and consultation about the patient’s current medical condition occurs. Over the course of an appointment, a physician can diagnose and treat a patient’s condition – without the patient needing to come for an in-person appointment. If necessary, a prescription for treating a patient’s medical condition can be written and sent to the patient’s pharmacy of choice as well.
