Benefits of online visit
Telemedicine offers indispensable tools for home healthcare, remote patient monitoring, and disease management to patients in rural areas and also for those in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, maritime and aviation or war field settings. The Department of Telemedicine at KIMSHEALTH enables health care professionals to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients in remote locations using telecommunications technology. Our telemedicine team provides more efficient use of limited expert resources so they can “see” patients in multiple locations wherever they are needed without leaving the hospital. The telemedicine department at KIMSHEALTH offers effective disaster relief allowing healthcare delivery capability to move in quickly after a disaster. This allows the onsite telehealth providers rapid access to advanced expertise and capabilities for triage and care electronically when and where it is most needed.
