Radiology
According to the American Medical Association (AMA) 39.5% of physicians that use telemedicine regularly are radiologists. The field of radiology has the most prevalent use of telemedicine. The practice, often referred to as teleradiology, is also one of the first adapters. This may be attributed to the technological aspect of radiology and imaging. Primary and secondary healthcare providers rely on the services of radiology and telemedicine can connect them efficiently.
Psychiatry
An important part of psychiatric treatments is having good communication with the patient. Especially with an increasing demand for mental health services, telepsychiatry is becoming a widely accepted solution. There are many advantages to utilizing telemedicine in psychiatry. Apart from offering mental health services to areas without access, it helps physicians to easily seek behavioral healthcare for their patients for better outcomes.
Cardiology
The use of telehealth services in cardiology is not a new concept so it comes as no surprise that it is a specialty to openly welcome the use of telemedicine. In fact, in Italy, telemedicine and cardiology have gone hand in hand since the 1990s. For those who have chronic conditions, telemonitoring devices can be necessary for treatment and monitoring the patient’s wellbeing. This telemonitoring can work in conjunction with telemedicine to assist in continuity of care.
Pathology
As with radiology, the use of telemedicine for pathology greatly increases interoperability within the healthcare system. Telepathology services can offer quicker turnarounds on medical testing and diagnosis. Furthermore, access to pathologists around the world is a great boon to healthcare. This can be seen by healthcare providers worldwide working together to tackle outbreaks and pandemics, such as COVID-19.
Emergency Medicine
Emergency medicine is a specialty field that requires decisions to be made swiftly and often on the spot. Even so, there are times when the best response can’t be offered without help. Telemedicine can serve to provide quick access to other specialists for required emergency care or triage. The pandemic has served to highlight another important use of telemedicine in emergency. It allows healthcare services to reduce exposure of the healthcare workforce to make sure many physicians, nurses, and frontline responders can work safely.
