telemedicine

Telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare and the exchange of health care information across distances using telecommunications technology. The most significant uses of communications technology in health care are education and remote diagnostics. This can include the transfer of basic patient information over computer networks, the transfer of images such as radiographs, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasound studies, pathology images, video images of endoscopic or other procedures, patient interviews and examinations, consultations with medical specialists and heath care educational activities.

It is a proven fact that telemedicine improves the quality of healthcare delivery whilst reducing costs by more efficient geographic coordination of patient care. The referral of patients to specialists is reduced by connecting primary care physicians to specialists. Second opinions can be obtained from specialists at medical centres of excellence all over the world without the need for patients to travel.
