Pulmonology, also referred to as Pneumology, is a field of medical speciality that focuses on the respiratory tract and diseases that effect it. These diseases include, but aren’t limited to, asthma, lung cancer, tuberculosis, and occupational lung disease. In addition, pulmonologists specialize in critical care, often in emergency departments, because sudden onset of respiratory tract complications are incredibly dangerous. Pulmonary issues can be as simple as shortness of breath to intense complications such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or pneumonia.
Telehealth provides a viable option for pulmonologists for treating patients suffering from chronic respiratory diseases. Disorders such as COPD, pneumonia, and asthma often require repeated visits for treatment and continued care. Telehealth allows pulmonologists to see more patients in a shorter amount of time by eliminating travel and wait times for their patients. This has an additional positive effect on patients in that many pulmonary diseases cause discomfort and make it difficult to travel. With telehealth, patients can have a virtual consultation from the comforts of their own home. This is especially a godsend for patients who live in rural areas or live incredibly busy lives and can’t afford the to take time off.
Pulmonologists can use telehealth for consultations that focus on preventative measures for in-patient situations as well. Being able to conveniently stabilize pulmonary issues prior to them becoming significant or being able to get accurate and quick diagnostics can lead to lower the number of necessary intubations. By being in touch with the patient and being able to easily get information before in-patient consultations can help to streamline the treatment process making patient care flow more efficiently.
