What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is a broad term that encompasses the use of digital technologies to deliver modern healthcare services remotely. It can include therapy visits, patient monitoring and online health education on a phone, tablet or computer – or on the go. Telepsychiatry and telemedicine, on the other hand, are specific types of telehealth that cover clinical diagnosis and psychiatric consultation.

Telehealth services in Nevada can include:

• Individual therapy
• Addiction education
• Psychiatry
• Family counseling
• Recovery services
• Provider referrals

With a video call and connection to a healthcare provider, telemedicine is simple, easy to use and designed with the patient in mind. You’ll meet with a provider just as you would in real life – but using a computer, camera phone or other device.

What are the benefits of telehealth?

Telehealth and telemedicine can expand access to services that patients might otherwise not receive due to where they live or a variety of other obstacles. The convenience of a virtual visit or phone call can open doors to patients who might otherwise put off treatment due to distance, responsibilities or other factors.

Telehealth allows you to receive treatment wherever you are by providers from around the country. This opens up options for you, the patient, by allowing you greater access to a diverse list of providers rather than limiting you to those in your immediate area.
