Say “Hello” to Telehealth! Keeping Your Health & Safety Our Priority
What Is Telehealth? Telehealth is defined as the use of electronic communications to share medical information from one site to another, for the purpose of improving the patient’s health. Telehealth includes numerous routes of delivery including patient consultations via video conferencing, transmitting still images, e-health with patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continual medical education, consumer-focused wireless applications and nursing call centers, e-mail, text messaging, remote data capture, and surgical training. The coronavirus pandemic demands that health care providers rethink how they deliver care in ways that reduce risk of further spreading infection. The use of telehealth is one approach that physical therapists can use to help keep both patients and ourselves safe. The Benefits of Telehealth In Physical Therapy Telehealth lets you continue connecting - and working with - your physical therapist to get you the help that you need.
Essentially, telehealth is a way for your therapist to evaluate your movement, discuss your symptoms and progression, and work with you one-on-one. With telehealth, your physical therapist can provide you with functional movement exercises to relieve pain and improve your ability to move pain-free, all from a remote location. At The Training Room, we want you to be able to continue to heal with physical therapy even if you can’t make it to the clinic. Other benefits of Telehealth include: • Advanced intake of subjective history • Wellness and preventative services to avoid pain, further deterioration or hospitalizations • Post-surgical monitoring and rehabilitation • Prevention of readmission to the hospital through home safety evals and mobility screens • Post-discharge checkups and safety screens • Q and A to prevent hospital readmissions and future injuries
