Healthcare institutions can save costs, improve efficiency at the level of care and the delivery of healthcare services even in regions that are difficult to access, with the use of Telemedicine.

The word Telemedicine is a term that has gained importance and recognition every year in hospitals and health centers, but it has become popular since the Covid-19 pandemic came into our lives and we virtualized different activities that we previously thought impossible.

But what is Telemedicine? We made this infographic explaining easily its most important characteristics:

The advance of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) applied to the health sector plays an important role in the development of telemedicine. Institutions can now open virtual offices, allow real-time communication between the patient and the professional without unnecessary travel, reduce the collapse of health centers, optimize response times to patients, reduce waiting lists and improve patient care.

Therefore, the importance of these tools such as telemedicine in the evolution and sustainable improvement of the health system, which may not solve all the current problems of the sector, but with the advances generated thanks to technology, will be able to play an important role in our country.

For professional telemedicine to be possible, healthcare facilities must have the appropriate technology to provide this service that complies with current regulations, which have been made more flexible due to the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, but what parameters will your telemedicine platform need to meet when the flexibility due to the pandemic ends?
