Lesson Plan 2 & 3: Teleconsultation (Telediagnosis and Telemonitoring)
Teleconsultation
is defined as synchronous or asynchronous consultation using information and
communication technology to omit geographical and functional distance. Its
goals are for diagnostics or treatment between two or more geographically
separated health providers (for example physicians or nurses) or between health
providers and patients. “Remote consultation” is the superior term of
teleconsultation in MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) and is defined as
“Consultation by remote telecommunications, generally for the purpose of diagnosis
or treatment of a patient at a site remote from the patient or primary
physician”(Deldar et al.,
2016).
