TelePsych Overview
What is Telemedicine?
"Telemedicine is the ability to provide interactive healthcare utilizing modern technology and telecommunications." Fundamentally, Telemedicine allows patients to visit with physicians live over video for immediate care or capture video/still images and patient data are stored and sent to physicians for diagnosis and follow-up treatment at a later time. Whether you live in the USA or deep in the African Jungle Telemedicine is an invaluable tool in Healthcare.
What Equipment is Required?
In a typical Telemedicine session, a clinician uses video conferencing equipment over a HIPPA compliant and secure broadband network connection to conduct a "virtual consultation/assessment/intervention" with individuals co-located at different settings. This specialized equipment allows point-to-point connectivity, including in high-definition, which minimizes both visual and audio breakdown, thus allowing a seamless clinical interaction. These services can be provided to any location, provided it has high speed Internet access (DSL/cable).
