Is Tenveo telehealth video conferencing the new frontier of health-care?

In a vast country, the ways available to communicate with remote patients and staff is a something health-care practitioners and institutions are all too aware of.  When telehealth video conferencing was first introduced it really was the new frontier of health-care.  Offering medical assistance to people who didn't have access to it meant a broader reach of health-care services to the world.

1. Telehealth reaches everyone

For many years now health-care services have taken up telehealth and it is one of the main ways to provide health-care services for patients who live in regional, rural and remote areas.

Instead of having to travel to the nearest major city to see a specialist, an increasing number of patients are using video conferencing tools like Tenveo. This facility could be offered by their local GP or another local health-care venue such as a hospital, aged-care facility or retirement home.

2. New frontier

One way telehealth is being hailed as the new frontier of health-care is those in the field believe, for example, that most of the people in hospitals are there to primarily be monitored. If that is the case, with a reliable connection by using Tenveo video conferencing, a number of those patients could be monitored from home (where they’ll recuperate quicker) and that would reduce costs while freeing up beds for other people.

3. Benefits

An pilot program offering telehealth in the home found that it meant patients were released from hospital sooner; patients were more aware of their condition and there were fewer unplanned hospital admissions.

Video conferencing is often the most popular telehealth care option, and is an effective consultation tool for a variety of applications which also help reduce overheads. Here are some of the benefits of Tenveo video conferencing:

1) Video conferencing connects emergency providers with medical specialists who otherwise would not be available for consults;

2) Remote ICU monitoring programs at hospitals provide 24-hour backup, supervision, and support to ICU medical staff by using a combination of real-time video to observe patients, interactive video communications with on-site ICU providers, and digital patient monitoring equipment

3) Primary care providers can consult with medical specialists who are not available locally;

Providers can discuss patient cases, regardless of location, and without the need for travel;

4) Medical specialists can examine patients in remote locations when distance is a barrier, as is the case when patients live in rural areas

5) Patients with limited mobility can receive medical consultations at home, or in their local primary care provider’s office;

6) Language translators can provide video interpretation services to multiple locations, a cost-effective expansion of these programs.

7) Help educate, train and support remote health-care workers on location;

8) Support people with chronic conditions
