The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a massive surge in hospital admissions worldwide. Telemedicine has played a critical role in addressing the surge by allowing patients to receive care remotely, reducing the burden on hospitals and clinics. In the wake of the pandemic, the role of telemedicine has continued to expand to address the surge in patients, both for advanced COVID-19 cases and other medical conditions.
Telemedicine allows patients to consult with a doctor without having to come to the hospital in person, reducing the risk of transmission and ensuring that patients who truly need immediate medical attention still receive prompt care. Hospitals can also use telemedicine to manage patients who require regular monitoring or long-term treatment, freeing them up to focus on patients with urgent needs.
In addition, telemedicine helps reduce patient queues, increases hospital efficiency, and allows doctors to make medical decisions more quickly.
