AV Managed Services Expert, IVCi, Explains How Healthcare Facilities are Taking Telehealth to the Next Level with Video Conferencing Technologies

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Video conferencing has changed the way medical professionals gather and disseminate patient information, as well as how they are trained on new information about the industry and its technology. AV managed services expert, IVCi, explains how healthcare facilities are taking telehealth to the next level with video conferencing technologies.

Video conferencing allows the world's top medical professionals to provide consultation, diagnosis, and treatment information, regardless of geographic location, through telehealth. This has great implications for treatment of patients who are institutionalized, incarcerated, have limited mobility, or are unable to make in-person visits possible.

Here are some specific ways that video conferencing has revolutionized telehealth:

    --  Emergency room and critical care support. Video conferencing makes it
        possible to have 24-7 support where it is needed most, like the
        emergency room or ICU floors, without a doctor having to be physically
        present. This is especially relevant for specialists, whose expertise is
        needed infrequently compared to other professionals.
    --  Continuing healthcare education. Video conferencing makes education more
        easily accessible to a wider range of healthcare professionals. One
        single course can be attended by individuals in different states, and
        even different countries. This level of accessibility removes the
        geographical constraints that often prevent people from taking courses
        on important topics.
    --  Wider healthcare impact. With video conferencing, medical professionals
        have the ability to share patient information, best practices, and
        telemedicine with those outside of their hospital, city, or state. This
        lets physicians give tremendous value to patients and each other that
        would otherwise be limited by location. Hospitals can establish a wide
        network with other hospitals and medical centers, allowing them to work
        together in order to provide the best possible care to patients.
        Additionally, doctors can treat patients they normally wouldn't be able
        to. They can make "house calls" without actually having to travel, which
        is beneficial for both the doctor and the patient.
    --  Lowered costs of healthcare. Video conferencing equipment is an
        investment that can lower overall healthcare costs in the long run. Not
        only does it save on travel and time costs, but it also lowers the cost
        of healthcare for those who need medical assistance traveling to and
        from appointments. Telemedicine and video conferencing are the most time
        and cost-efficient methods of providing healthcare.
