I think it builds a trusting relationship between the provider and the patient. Some patients are more comfortable with texting or emailing if they have complications with their health. 
I like that Telehealth offers multiple technological platforms to reach many different populations and generations. For example, if a patient does not have home internet, they are able to go to the public library instead.]]> 2017-08-01 17:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiabenford25/43276ar3drf4/wish/179878146 cynthiabenford25 https://padlet.com/cynthiabenford25/43276ar3drf4/wish/179878525 Gruessner, V.
