Telehealth is the use of electronic communications, via phone or video, for a patient appointment. Virtual health care has seen a rise since the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and will continue to play an important role in making sure we can see our patients safely and efficiently.
It was so easy! You register just like you would at the doctor’s office. You hit the button and you answer the questions. That’s all. That’s all there is to it.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) defines telehealth as “the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support and promote clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration.”
Telehealth supports a range of clinical activities, including:
Using cutting-edge technology, we offer a comprehensive, high-quality system of care with:
Using telehealth, you can speak with a medical provider you trust from the comfort of your home. Learn more about virtual appointments.
We offer Remote Patient Monitoring to help patients monitor their vitals from their homes. Learn more about Remote Patient Monitoring.
We use the Project ECHO model (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) to connect subject matter experts to practicing providers, clinicians, and social health care professionals across Virginia for knowledge exchange.
We work with health systems across Virginia to improve the patient experience.
We offer patients unable to receive treatment on-site at VCU Medical Center access to our health care through conventional, interactive video visits. This technology provides incarcerated patients at 30 Department of Corrections sites in Virginia with access to care from our specialty clinics while reducing security risks and costs associated with inmate transportation.
More than 45,000 incarcerated patients at 30 correctional facilities across the Commonwealth have benefited from our work with the Virginia Department of Corrections to provide quality health care through conventional telemedicine.
Any VCU Medical Center clinic can provide telemedicine care, including the specialty clinics listed below. For a specific specialty need not listed below, please call us at (833) 889-9072 or email us to request telemedicine coverage.
