HSA4502 Healthcare Risk Management Discussion Forum

1.) Discuss a specific way that complications can arise in patient care when utilizing telemedicine.

Answer 1

Ans) Telemedicine increases patient engagement by helping them maintain check-up appointments and care schedules. Virtual consultations also make it easier for patients to reach out to their physicians, report early warning signs or any health concerns, and follow through on their appointments.

- Globally, barriers to the implementation of telehealth in WHO Member States are along the same lines as those reported in Europe: a lack of funding, a lack of infrastructure, competing health system priorities, and a lack of legislation or regulations governing telehealth programs.
