Telehealth

Telehealth at UHealth provides patients with access to university health care and physicians with remote medical education using technology and high speed networks. Also, Telehealth at UHealth offers improved access to primary and specialty medical care. This has become increasingly effective and popular because of:

• Widely-demonstrated patient satisfaction
• Reduction in costs of health care
• Shorter hospital stays and reduced travel times
• Current and projected physician and specialist shortages
• Increased efficiency through better management of chronic diseases

Since its inception in 1973, Telehealth at UHealth has expanded to include clinical telehealth services and telehealth-related research and development, regional and international distance health education, and telehealth advocacy and standards development.
