What is the role of telehealth services at RACH?

The role of telehealth services at Ransom Army Community Hospital (RACH) is to provide remote healthcare consultations. This means that patients can consult with healthcare providers without needing to be physically present at the hospital. Telehealth services enable more accessible and convenient healthcare options, allowing patients to receive medical advice, follow-ups, and treatment recommendations from the comfort of their own homes.

This approach is particularly beneficial in situations where travel may be difficult or when patients prefer to avoid potential exposure to infectious diseases in a healthcare setting. The use of telehealth enhances patient engagement and allows for prompt medical attention, thereby improving overall healthcare delivery.

In this context, telehealth is not limited to in-person consultations, nor is it solely a referral service or focused on billing and insurance issues. Its core function revolves around facilitating virtual interactions between patients and healthcare providers.
