Video collaboration solutions create virtual meeting experiences so realistic, participants feel as if they are in the same room even if they are miles apart. By allowing real-time, two-way interaction, this technology effectively simulates the experience traditionally obtained face-to-face in examination and operating rooms.
The following are just a few benefits that health care organizations receive by using video conferencing and telepresence technology:
- Knowledge transfer:
Physicians can more easily exchange leading-edge expertise with widely dispersed colleagues across the country and around the globe.
- Access to specialists:
Patients receive access to remote specialists so that they can receive up-to-the-minute information about managing chronic illnesses such as diabetes and high blood pressure - information that might not otherwise be available.
- Access for patients in remote locations:
Experts in illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, prenatal or neonatal care, and other areas can use video conferencing to reach hundreds of patients remotely, sharing new guidance and late-breaking developments, and offering potentially life-saving advice.
- Training:
Medical Education (remote and more frequent training sessions)
- Scheduling:
Residents can treat more patients by reducing travel time.
