Advantages of using telemedicine services

Undoubtedly, the benefits of using this type of service have made it more and more popular. Benefits that are added every day with the advancement of technology . Some of the benefits of telemedicine in brief are :

Broad access to medical care

We cannot hide the fact that in most countries we are facing a shortage of doctors and hospital beds. Many hospitals and medical centers lack experienced medical staff in all departments. Providing remote medical services has made it possible for people to benefit from medical care as quickly as possible without filling up the waiting room or waiting for several months for an appointment. The possibility of using these services even in remote and deprived places has made more people access to medical services .

Saving time and increasing patient satisfaction

Telemedicine services increase patient satisfaction with shorter waiting times and easier access. For example, a research study showed that each visit to the doctor takes 121 minutes of the patient's time, and only 20 minutes of that time are spent on the visit. By providing these services, the waiting time will be shorter. Also, in addition to increasing patient satisfaction, time spent traveling and waiting is also saved .

Reducing the rate of patient admission in hospitals

With telemedicine, there will be less unnecessary hospitalization and then starting the disease diagnosis process. In fact, the detection stage is prioritized first. Fewer hospital admissions and freed up beds help patients with acute problems such as infections or chronic diseases to start their treatment process faster. It also allows doctors to be in contact with more patients and provides enough time to assess emerging symptoms and detect early problems before serious medical treatment is needed .
