How Telehealth Works

TeleHealth and telemedicine both describe the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve the health status of the patient.

Synchronous: This term is used to describe "real-time" and "two-way" interactive video connections because the transmission of information in both directions is occurring at exactly the same time. These type of encounters require the distant provider to perform exam/evaluation of a patient from many miles away.  In order to accomplish this task, an individual with a clinical background (such as an RN or LPN) is trained in the use of equipment to facilitate the presentation of the patient at the remote site.

Asynchronous: This term is used to describe store-and-forward (S&F) transmission of medical images or information because the transmissiion typically occurs in one direction at a time.  This type of encounter uses digital images of patients for the purpose of rendoring a medical opinion or diagnosis.  Common types of S&F services include radiology, pathology, dermatology and wound care.
