Telehealth is a mode of delivering health care services to facilitation diagnosis, consultation, treatment, education, care management and self-management of patient’s health care when patient is separated from provider by distance.
Telehealth / telemedicine is a tool in medical practice, not a separate form of medicine.
The standard of care is the same whether patient is seen in-person or through telehealth.
