Telemedicine visits are becoming the new normal

Telemedicine visits are becoming the new normal. The pandemic will make this an even more important tool to gain access to your healthcare team. As telemedicine visits become more common, it will be important to understand the risks and benefits of this new opportunity to safely and efficiently receive the care you or your loved one needs. More importantly, it will be imperative that one receives the best available care possible with telemedicine. Telemedicine visits complement the available opportunities to see your doctor and must be used appropriately.

At the start of the pandemic, we were seeing all of our patients via our telemedicine platform. This was reflected around the entire country. Now that things are better understood, telemedicine continues at a high level. Patients have been able to benefit from this new service and it has been interesting to see just how easy it has been to use the system. This includes, young, old and even those that are not comfortable with technology. Most have been seen for management of chronic medical issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, allergies and heart issues. Review of lab work, consultations, acute pain and refills are some other reasons that are commonly used with telemedicine.
