Telemedicine will deliver cost effective care for the future
Technology is cheaper and much easier to use and is continuing to push the envelope in terms of the options available to all patients, not just those who struggle to get to their medical facilities or hospitals. Video conferencing through webcams on laptops and mobile devices mean that patients can connect with their medical staff over the Internet with ease. Receiving ‘virtual’ care will continue to increase through 2014 and beyond. Self-monitoring devices also make it easier for patients to monitor their own vital signs and report their information without having to make an appointment to see a medical care provider. Post hospitalization, patients can check in and upload their data, and the medical staff can videoconference with the patient or with other members of their team to monitor and consult through an interface that assists with HIPAA compliance. Lack of reimbursement for treatment through telecommunications has been a barrier in the past; however, progress is being made from both political parties to change the requirements. Also using telemedicine to lower readmissions to hospital can help with Medicare reimbursement.
