Advantages of telemedicine

Some of the benefits of telemedicine for patients include:

  • Convenience: Patients do not have to take time away from work for an appointment. There is also no travel time or associated expenses, such as paying for gas or child care.

  • Increased access: Patients in rural areas can obtain specialty services, that they otherwise might not get without traveling a large distance for an in-person visit. Similarly, patients who live in federally designated, underserved areas have increased access to the healthcare they need.
