What is Telehealth?
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is an innovative service that provides physicians with a convenient and efficient way to refer patients to a specialist or subspecialist for medical advice and treatment. Patients are able to see and talk with an Emory cardiac or vascular specialist and receive personalized care through the latest in telehealth technology — without incurring the time and expense of traveling to one of the Emory Clinics near and around metro Atlanta.
A telehealth consultation uses live video and simulates an in-office consultation between a patient and specialist. This HIPAA-compliant Internet initiative uses Webbased computer cameras and screens outfitted with specialized tools that send and receive live video and real-time medical information. Telehealth technology for cardiology conveys information as varied as ultrasound images and stethoscope sounds.
