A Practical Guide to Emergency Department Telemedicine
"Telemedicine is a rapidly growing field in healthcare and emergency medicine. Telemedicine, telehealth, and virtual health are often used interchangeably, but have unique definitions. Collectively, they refer to the use of telecommunications technology and electronic information to support health and provide care over distance. (Nesbitt TS, 2020) Telehealth and Telemedicine both describe the "use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve the patient's health status".(Institute of Medicine, 2012) Telemedicine is generally limited to direct clinical provider-to-patient care. Telehealth services include but are not limited to clinical care, health screening and prevention, health maintenance, professional health-related education, public health, and health administration. (Sikka, 2019) Virtual Health, e-health and digital health refer to an even broader array of digital information tools. The definition includes telehealth and extends further into other categories such as health information technology (IT), medical device data systems, electronic health records (EHRs), and clinical decision support tools. (Office of Health Policy, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), 2016) (U.S. Food & Drug Administration, n.d.; Telligen and the Great Plains Telehealth Resource and Assistance Center, 2020)"--
