“Essentially we can perform a full exam with the obvious exception of not being able to physically touch the patient,” Dr. Korangy said, adding that his company has programs that operate in acute settings and manage patients from home or work.
How is it being used during the coronavirus pandemic?
Telehealth doctors can check patients for symptoms of possible coronavirus infection, then direct them to testing facilities or to visit an in-person urgent care or emergency department.
“By providing direct access to physicians and medical care, telehealth enables patients to stay at home, be evaluated remotely and only if necessary go to a healthcare facility,” Dr. Korangy said. “This reduces the burden on hospitals and health care facilities who can focus on highly acute patients while the less acute individuals can be managed remotely from their homes.”
Some telemedicine companies have added services such as a coronavirus resource center, webinars about COVID-19 and a virus risk assessment.
