Telemedicine: with limited specialists, more area to cover, and better reimbursement models, many hospitals are embracing telemedicine.
Telemedicine can successfully address the shortage of intensivists. Telemedicine is growing beyond the ICU into other specialty areas. Home monitoring is a big growth area in telemedicine. Home monitoring can encourage patients to take charge of their chronic disease. Involve all clinicians, not just specialty, in any telemedicine program.
