7 Reasons to Maximize the Use of Teleconsultation for Your Health
Telehealth has been uncommonly used for decades but is only now gaining traction. This is because a large number of people now have access to high-speed internet and the equipment needed to conduct an online visit. Especially with the ongoing pandemic, patients favor this option to seek consultations from doctors while they are in quarantine and to contain the spread of coronavirus as well.
Nowadays, an increasing number of physicians provide telemedicine services, so there is a good chance you will be able to see your regular doctor via an app, call, or video. They cannot treat every illness, but they are capable of addressing a wide range of issues.
Here are some of the advantages of telehealth or teleconsultation:
1. SAVE MONEY
Teleconsultation costs a lot less than in-person visits for minor health issues. Having a doctor consultation with your mobile phone or computer means you can save money on public transportation or gas and parking.
2. SAVE MORE TIME
Simply plan your visit during a break, or before or after work. You can be somewhere that provides excellent privacy. You should follow your doctor’s follow-up orders and stay healthy without missing a day of work or wasting valuable paid time off.
You also don’t waste time commuting or risk being stuck in traffic, which might cause you to be late for your appointment or, worse, late for work.
3. NO NEED TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK
For people who are taking care of children or the elderly, it can be stressful to set the best schedule when to see a doctor. It can also be inconvenient to bring them along. Telemedicine solves this problem by allowing you to see your doctor while also taking care of your family.
4. GET EASY ACCESS TO SPECIALISTS
Certain patients who need specialist treatment must travel long distances and spend significant time in each visit. Telemedicine enables you and your primary care provider to benefit from the experience of professionals who are not in close proximity. For serious health but not emergency conditions, you can consult the best, not the closest.
5. LESS EXPOSURE TO NEW ILLNESS
When visiting a doctor’s office, it is inevitable to have contact with some sick patients, especially in crowded waiting areas. By staying at home, you will receive the treatment you need while preventing exposure and the possibility of transmitting your disease to others.
6. AVOID LONG QUEUES
By opting for teleconsultation, you can avoid the time spent in a doctor’s office scouring over old magazines or watching random videos on your phone. And if you choose not to use this option, choosing a clinic that does will cut down on the wait time by allowing other patients to have teleconsultations from their homes.
7. MANAGE YOUR HEALTH BETTER
Having the convenience to consult a doctor as often as you need to means you can properly maintain your health, medications, and any other chronic problems you may have. You will no longer use heavy traffic or your busy schedule as an excuse to postpone your doctor’s visit.
