Telehealth vs. Teletherapy
Telehealth and teletherapy are two different types of virtual healthcare visits. Telehealth is used to address general health concerns, while teletherapy is used to speak with a behavioral health professional. Virtual visits can be conducted via a computer, tablet, or smartphone through a link sent to the patient's cell phone or email.
The patient and provider connect through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, through which patients receive medical advice, prescriptions, and care instructions while maximizing convenience and minimizing the chance of exposure to viruses and
other illnesses.
The Benefits of Telehealth and Teletherapy
- Convenience: Virtual visits eliminate the need for long waiting hours, travel time, and transportation costs, providing easy access to care, especially for individuals living in remote areas.
- Improved patient experience: Telehealth visits can provide better patient satisfaction as patients have more options, flexibility, and control over when they can meet with their providers.
- Avoid the risk of infection: Patients with compromised immune systems have a reduced risk of exposure to viral and bacterial infections because they can avoid crowded waiting rooms.
- Better management of long-term health needs: Patients with chronic health concerns can have quicker access to their healthcare provider. This may prevent worsening of health that could lead to hospitalization.
