Primary Care Telemedicine
Telemedicine today plays an important role in the delivery of primary care – and it promises to play an even bigger part in the future.
There’s no doubt about it: this type of remote healthcare service became more widely used during COVID. The technology available to make telemedicine successful had been available for some time, but the pandemic helped establish the immediate need for remote doctor visits. This is when many doctor’s offices, especially bigger practices, scrambled to ensure their infrastructure could temporarily accommodate virtual primary care.
Now that patients have tried telemedicine, so many are sold on its convenience and ease. The demand for this type of healthcare service continues to grow.
Intimate Health Telemedicine was created by Family Nurse Practitioner, Sharon Zell, to provide just this type of care: high-quality, confidential, and highly personalized virtual primary care to men, women, and adolescents (age 13 and up) in numerous states throughout the country. Sharon established her telemedicine practice to provide healthcare services on demand using real-time video conferencing conducted via any internet-connected device with a working camera and microphone.
What Is Primary Care?
Nurse Practitioners have become the frontline of healthcare. They are usually the first medical professional a patient sees when something is wrong, or they have a medical concern. Primary care providers provide triage and can diagnosis and treat a broad range of medical conditions. These trusted, frontline healthcare professionals often prioritize patient education and guidance and work with patients to help prevent future health problems as well as treat any current concerns. That’s especially true at Intimate Health Telemedicine, where Nurse Practitioner, Sharon Zell, prides herself on providing clear, accurate, and up-to-date information her patients need to make the best healthcare decisions for themselves.
