Telemedicine is the remote delivery of healthcare services using digital technologies such as: video conferencing, secure messaging, and mobile apps. It improves access to care, especially for people in rural or underserved areas, reduces travel and wait times, and supports chronic disease management and mental health services. Telemedicine was found to be a transformative tool in chronic disease management, particularly in diabetes care. Significant improvements in patient health outcomes and cost savings were reported with telemedicine interventions.(Ezeamii et al., 2024).

Improve access to care

Easily accessible to all patients.

Flexibility

Appointments can be done at home, and reduce time away from work and school.

Reduce exposure to infections.

Hospitals can put immunocompromised patients at risk for infections. Telemedicine allows the patient to receive care from home. They can control their environment and avoid exposure to contagious people.

Drug management to prevent polypharmacy

Systems can relay data over large distances between systems, allowing one practitioner to know what another has already done. As a result, there is less duplication in monitoring and fewer cases of inadequate drug management(Harleem et al., 2021).

Telemedicine is a valuable tool in healthcare. Many patients lack reliable transportation to attend monthly appointments and in some cases, a provider is only needed for medication refill or reconciliation. Telemedicine has transformed the care for people with disabilities who experience sensory issues at appointments. Additionally, it supports caregivers by easing the burdens of bringing patients to appointments. Although some patients may struggle with access to smartphones or stable internet connections, many programs exist to prevent this problem. For example, individuals who receive government assistance may be eligible for a free phone and other resources to support telemedicine access. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons.
