Regular hospital visits can be expensive, particularly in rural areas, due to travel costs. In the era of the Covid-19 Pandemic, where physical interaction becomes risky, people prefer telemedicine. Fortunately, medical visits can be reduced when telemedicine services are used through video conferencing or other virtual technologies. Thus, telemedicine saves both the patient's and the health care provider time and the cost of the treatment. Furthermore, due to its fast and advantageous characteristics, it can streamline the workflow of hospitals and clinics. This disruptive technology would make it easier to monitor discharged patients and manage their recovery. As a result, it is sufficient to state that telemedicine can create a win-win situation. This paper aims to explore the significant capabilities, features with treatment workflow, and barriers to the adoption of telemedicine in Healthcare. The paper identifies seventeen significant applications of telemedicine in Healthcare. Telemedicine is described as a medical practitioner to diagnose and treat patients in a remote area. Using health apps for scheduled follow-up visits makes doctors and patients more effective and improves the probability of follow-up, reducing missing appointments and optimising patient outcomes. Patients should have an accurate medical history and show the doctor any prominent rashes, bruises, or other signs that need attention through the excellent quality audio-video system. Further, practitioners need file management and a payment gateway system. Telemedicine technologies allow patients and doctors both to review the treatment process. However, this technology supplements physical consultation and is in no way a substitute for a physical consultation. Today this technology is a safe choice for patients who cannot go to the doctor or sit at home, especially during a pandemic.
由于交通成本,定期去医院看病可能会很昂贵,尤其是在农村地区。在新冠疫情时代,身体接触存在风险,人们更喜欢远程医疗。幸运的是,通过视频会议或其他虚拟技术使用远程医疗服务时,可以减少就诊次数。因此,远程医疗节省了患者和医疗服务提供者的时间以及治疗成本。此外,由于其快速且具有优势的特点,它可以简化医院和诊所的工作流程。这种颠覆性技术将使监测出院患者及其康复管理变得更加容易。因此,可以说远程医疗能够创造双赢局面。本文旨在探讨远程医疗在医疗保健领域的重要能力、与治疗工作流程相关的特征以及采用远程医疗的障碍。本文确定了远程医疗在医疗保健领域的十七项重要应用。远程医疗被描述为医生在偏远地区诊断和治疗患者。使用健康应用程序进行定期随访使医生和患者更有效率,并提高了随访的可能性,减少了预约失约情况并优化了患者治疗效果。患者应拥有准确的病史,并通过优质的音频 - 视频系统向医生展示任何需要关注的明显皮疹、瘀伤或其他体征。此外,从业者需要文件管理和支付网关系统。远程医疗技术使患者和医生都能够回顾治疗过程。然而,这项技术是对面对面咨询的补充,绝不是面对面咨询的替代品。如今,对于那些无法去看医生或只能待在家中的患者来说,尤其是在疫情期间,这项技术是一个安全的选择。
