HD in Healthcare
In a healthcare environment that is technology oriented, providers and patients are recognizing the benefits of video conferencing. With the constant pressure to increase the quality of patient care and the desire to provide new services, while at the same time controlling costs, healthcare providers are leveraging the power of video networks to link patients, specialists, and clinicians, thus extending the reach of healthcare. Patients seek lower out-of-pocket costs, less travel and shorter wait times as they receive medical care. Live digital video and high-speed network connections enable physicians to evaluate and diagnose illnesses in real-time, without the need for either the patient or physician to travel. Medical professionals also have the convenience of being able to obtain continuing medical education (CME), access certification programs, and train through video conferencing. Telemedicine systems bring medical expertise to patients and providers regardless of location. The use of telemedicine increases revenues for healthcare facilities by allowing hospitals to tap the expertise of individuals across the country or the globe. Patients get the care they need regardless of their location, and often faster and at a reduced cost. By S. Ann Earon, PhD, Telemanagement Resources International Inc.
