Telehealth can be a helpful tool for patients who are at home and trying to decide if they need to go to the emergency room. This form of patient-physician consultation can improve a patient's access to regular health maintenance or treatment for acute injuries or illnesses.

Here are some of the benefits of telehealth:

• It can help patients avoid unnecessary trips to the emergency room.

• It can provide patients with access to care when they are unable to leave their home.

• It can improve communication between patients and their providers.

• It can reduce costs for both patients and providers.

Benefits for Patients

1. Save time: Patients do not have to book working hours in order to visit the clinic. Parents also don't have to book a babysitter or take their kids to a medical office unnecessarily.

2. Ease of Access: Patients living in remote areas receive the same benefits as patients living near medical facilities. 

3. Rural patients don't need to drive long distances into cities to get help from medical professionals. Likewise, patients in home regions that sometimes have more difficulty accessing primary care, dental, and mental health care can receive the same care as other patients in other regions. 

4. Fewer Cancellations: Remote appointments reduce cancellations and misses If patients forget their appointments, appointments can be easily reached. Accessing your computer or phone is much easier than getting ready and commuting to an appointment.
