Access to Telehealth Services

Access to telehealth services means the ability to consult healthcare providers remotely, typically via phone or internet. It allows patients to receive medical advice, diagnosis, and treatment without visiting a clinic in person. Factors influencing access include internet connectivity, technological devices, awareness of available services, and insurance coverage. Telehealth improves convenience, especially for those in remote areas or with mobility challenges, by providing timely care while reducing travel and wait times. Ensuring equitable access helps more people benefit from healthcare innovations and maintains quality care beyond traditional settings.
