DELIVERING CARE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE: Telehealth Alters the Medical Ecosystem
This iHealth Report -- a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of the California HealthCare Foundation -- examines emerging uses of telehealth and describes the market drivers and challenges that will impact its future growth. Health plans, providers, and IT vendors are all using telehealth applications to increase quality of care, reduce costs, and increase access for the underserved. Sometimes referred to as e-health or telemedicine, telehealth encompasses a variety of formats, including:
- Live videoconferencing;
- Store-and-forward systems for transmitting digital images and other data;
- Remote patient monitoring through the use of home-based devices; and
- E-visits or "virtual house calls."
