A patient’s and provider’s guide to the telehealth revolution
What if we could see a doctor faster, more efficiently, and at a lower cost? With the emergence of telemedicine, we now can. And this book is a primer on telemedicine for anyone who wants to take charge of their health and understand all their healthcare options.
A mix of patient stories, research, and viewpoints from practicing physicians, Skip the Waiting Room explores telemedicine from all angles. Among other topics, it explains:
• How telehealth will positively change how providers deliver care
• How remote care can expand access to rural and marginalized groups
• What types of care are best suited for telehealth and what types are not
• Why telehealth is not just for the sick
This valuable guide illustrates why telemedicine is not only a viable solution to many of our healthcare problems but also an inevitable and crucial one.
