Telemedicine for Pediatrics

Telehealth is a growing area of healthcare that uses technology to deliver care remotely and can be used for a wide variety of pediatric services, including consultations, follow-up visits, specialty care, and mental health services. There are many benefits to using telehealth in pediatrics like it can improve access to care for children in underserved or rural areas and it can help reduce missed school days and parental work absenteeism. Another reason can be to provide more convenient and flexible scheduling options for families. Lastlly, telehealth can save time and money by reducing travel costs. And fifth, telehealth appointments tend to be shorter than traditional in-person visits, which can be helpful for busy families.

A telehealth system in pediatrics requires a few different components in order to be successful. First, you need a robust and reliable way to connect with patients online. This means having a strong internet connection and access to the appropriate video conferencing software. Second, you’ll need to have HIPAA-compliant storage for patient health information. This is important not only for protecting sensitive information but also for maintaining a record of care. Third, you’ll need pediatric-specific EHR software that meets Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements. Lastly, you’ll need staff trained in using the telehealth system and providing care remotely. While there are many different vendors that offer telehealth solutions, Wi4 Corporation is one of the best.
