2) It can diagnose illness earlier than in-person appointments by providing greater access to patient information like lab results, scans, etc.
3) It can reduce the burden on health providers who may be overworked due to an influx of patients.
Telehealth services are important for many reasons. It has been proven to be as effective, if not more so, than in-person doctor appointments.
Telehealth services also reduce the wait times associated with seeing a doctor and offer convenience to those who may have difficulty traveling long distances or finding time away from work.

Telemedicine provides care of equal quality but at lower costs and without the stress of driving across town or waiting hours in a busy hospital emergency room.
