Telehealth in Emergency Medicine

Telehealth in emergency medicine utilizes technology to provide immediate medical care and consultations remotely. It allows patients to connect with healthcare professionals via video calls, phone calls, or messaging, especially during urgent situations when they may not be able to visit a hospital or clinic. This approach can facilitate quick assessments, advice on symptoms, and even follow-up care, ensuring timely medical attention. Telehealth enhances access to specialized care, especially in rural areas or during emergencies when traditional access may be limited. It represents a modern solution to improve patient outcomes in critical situations.
