Telemedicine: buying guides & advice

How to Choose Telemedicine Systems

Telemedicine systems combine HIPAA-compliant video software, mobile carts/kiosks, and connected diagnostic peripherals (digital stethoscopes, exam cameras, ENT scopes, vitals monitors) to enable remote consultations and virtual exams. According to the American Hospital Association, more than 75 percent of hospitals offer telemedicine as a service, and 70 percent of patients feel comfortable communicating with their healthcare providers via text, email, or video. Buyers typically include hospital IT/biomedical engineering teams, ASC administrators, rural health clinics, school-based health programs, skilled nursing facilities, and specialty group practices building hub-and-spoke virtual care models.
