Telemedicine is a potential complementary modality with remarkable benefits for future healthcare delivery when incorporated appropriately. This review article examines the importance of telemedicine in various types of healthcare facilities and its utility in remote and underserved settings. PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Embase databases were used for the literature review. The terminologies commonly searched were "Telemedicine", "Academic", "Medical Centers", and "Prospective", resulting in a total of 12 articles spanning the past 20 years. All articles included in the study suggest that telemedicine can play a significant role in elective, outpatient, inpatient, and urgent care, including emergencies, particularly for patients living in rural or underserved areas.
