Telemedicine is an exciting clinical delivery tool that offers real ways to address health care’s persistent problems of patient access, coordination of care and cost-efficient delivery of high-quality services. But with innovation comes unique legal and business considerations, and while some states have given significant thought to telemedicine, publishing concise laws and rules to promote adoption, Florida still has opportunities for progress.
Telemedicine (also referred to as telehealth) is a collection of evolving communication, information and diagnostic technologies that links together hospitals, clinicians and patients to improve clinical health. Telemedicine is a modality—a means through which health care services are delivered—rather than a distinct medical specialty practice area. Nationwide, telemedicine is used in over 80 health service disciplines including cardiology, neurology, pediatrics, primary care and psychiatry.
