As defined by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americantelemed.org\/\">American Telemedicine Association<\/a>, telemedicine is \u201cthe use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient\u2019s clinical health status.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In its most primitive form, a telephone call between a physician and patient falls under the umbrella of telemedicine. Today, however, doctors can closely monitor a patient\u2019s recovery from surgery or chronic illness via face-to-face televideo conferencing technology. The value of such sessions can be further enhanced by providing patients with basic tools for measuring their vital statistics, like blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Effects of Current Pandemic<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The COVID-19 pandemic has:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Put unprecedented demands on healthcare facilities<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Sharply reduced in-person visits to doctors\u2019 offices and emergency rooms for non-COVID 19 health issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is in this area of healthcare that telemedicine can be most helpful in filling the gaps.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While telemedicine clearly isn\u2019t the ideal medium for treating COVID-19 symptoms, it could be a first point of contact. For instance, a participating doctor could refer a patient with obvious COVID-19 symptoms to a hospital. However, it is telemedicine\u2019s ability to relieve some of the non-COVID 19 pressure from hospitals that makes it so valuable.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">People with non-emergent health issues can get the medical attention they need by using telemedicine technology. Even the government has clearly endorsed telemedicine with its moves to significantly improve reimbursement for this remote type of care.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fil fr-dib\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediashower.com\/img\/78A29B90-73D1-11EA-8864-9638B9DC458A\/bigstock-Telemedicine-Digital-Health-Is-354151076_900x.jpg\" alt=\"Laptop with stethoscope, needle and phone.\" width=\"600\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Doctors can prescribe drugs during a telemedicine consultation with a patient.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What Telemedicine Can Do<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Apart from enabling face-to-face consultations between you and your physician, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/consumer-health\/in-depth\/telehealth\/art-20044878\">MayoClinic.org<\/a> notes that telemedicine also facilitates these other transactions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Prescription refills<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Summations of previous visits and reviews of test results<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Future appointment scheduling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What If You Think You\u2019re Infected<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For patients who are concerned that they might be experiencing the early symptoms of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/can-telehealth-help-flatten-the-curve-of-covid-19-2020032419288\">Harvard Health Blog<\/a> suggests a few steps to take before conferring with your doctor via telemedicine:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Write down all your current symptoms, taking care to note any medications that you\u2019ve taken to relieve those symptoms.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Be prepared to answer questions that might help the doctor to determine if you\u2019re truly suffering from COVID-19. Sample topics include recent travel, contact with those who have recently traveled, and the persons with whom you\u2019ve recently had close contact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Telemedicine is ideal for dealing with certain medical issues, particularly those that don\u2019t require extensive physical examination. Among such issues are erectile dysfunction (ED) and other sexual disorders, as well as questions pertaining to reproductive health, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/womens-health-policy\/issue-brief\/telemedicine-in-sexual-and-reproductive-health\/\">KFF.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 * * *<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Stay-at-home orders keep communities safe by limiting unnecessary movement. Fortunately, when it comes to ED medications such as Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, you can save time and money by ordering them through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/\">eDrugstore.com<\/a>, all the while respecting social distancing regulations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Based in Tempe, Arizona, eDrugstore is a longtime online medical facilitator, serving as a middleman between consumers, physicians, and pharmacies.
