Telemedicine | Golden Age

Telemedicine is a subset of telehealth that involves the use of electronic communication, information technology, or other means to provide clinical health care from a distance. According to the Federation of State Medical Boards, telemedicine is defined as the practice of medicine using electronic communication, information technology, or other means between a physician in one location and a patient in another location, with or without an intervening healthcare provider. Telemedicine bridges the gap between healthcare providers and patients, especially in rural or underserved areas. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, telemedicine is likely to play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of healthcare delivery.
