Benefits to Using Telemedicine

• Improved access to specialty services and care – “care closest to home”

• High patient satisfaction – • improved access, • reduced travel costs (mileage and travel time)• reduced time away from home/school/work

• Improved patient outcomes – earlier interventions, reduced complications, consistent use of evidenced based medicine

• Healthy People/Healthy Communities - better relationships with rural communities – create, improve and maintain local access to appropriate high quality care
