Telehealth provides a whole new scope for engagement in healthcare when it comes to communication and practice. Remote healthcare is a convenient godsend, especially during the pandemic where many countries around the world have established various travel regulations, quarantines, and social-distancing policies. There is also no doubt that at the moment, with the large influx in patients and high risk of infection that there may be a strong burden on the healthcare workforce, especially since they may also be infected while conducting their duties.
Even healthcare professionals need to quarantine when it is called for. This effectively pulls them out of service and work for a period of time that may be up to 2 weeks even if they are asymptomatic for the benefit of others. The doctors and healthcare professionals who would otherwise be stuck at home or who have recovered are able to continue practicing through telehealth. This can possibly benefit hospitals and patients because it allows for a greater and more stable potential workforce to be available. It can benefit doctors in other ways too as some may choose to practice remotely during their quarantine just for an extra revenue stream.
Telehealth can allow for a way to also balance out the geographical workload. The majority of doctors, specialist, and other healthcare professionals are often centered around larger cities, leaving rural areas rather ill-equipped to deal with the quick spread of a pandemic and the effects it has on healthcare. Ideally, telehealth can be used to provide quality non-emergency healthcare no matter where you are or what time it is.
As hospitals and wards are loaded up with Covid-19 patients who can spread the disease, it causes uncertainty and sometimes it even may be ill advised for geriatric and other high-risk patients to visit the hospital. With telehealth, these patients can check in with their regular physicians from the safety of their own home. The pandemic is causing lots of change and things are proceeding quickly in many aspects of healthcare, especially telehealth.
