What is acute care telemedicine & Home health care?
Acute care telemedicine is a consultation in a hospital for an urgent medical case with a remote specialist. It is the time-sensitive, short-term treatment of a sudden-onset symptom, medical condition, or injury. It supports a hospital’s existing infrastructure by filling operational gaps through remote access to specialised medical advice and expertise.
Home health care offers personalized, in-home medical services that enhance comfort and convenience. Benefits include:
- Personalized Care: Tailored to individual needs, ensuring a higher level of attention.
- Comfort and Familiarity: Patients receive care in the comfort of their own home, which can improve emotional well-being.
- Reduced Hospital Visits: Helps avoid frequent hospital stays and potential exposure to infections.
- Cost-Effective: Often more affordable than extended hospital care or long-term institutional settings.
- Family Involvement: Enables family members to be more involved in the care process, fostering a supportive environment.
