Home Tele-health
Home tele-health is the remote care delivery or monitoring between a healthcare provider and a patient.
There are two types of tele-health:
-
Phone monitoring
Phone monitoring is the most basic form of telehealth. Phone monitoring is the scheduled remote care delivery or monitoring in which scheduled patient encounters via the telephone occur between a health care provider and a patient or care giver. Phone monitoring does not use electronic information processing technologies.
-
Tele-monitoring
Unlike phone monitoring which requires only phone communication between the health care provider and patient/care giver, tele-monitoring requires the use of technology and equipment. Tele-monitoring includes the collection of clinical data and the transmission of such data between a patient at a distant location and a health care provider through electronic information processing technologies.
