Time Warner is launching a trial run of delivering healthcare services to the patients! What this details:
1) Reduce time to drive (since some of the area is rural and sparse to get to a doctor)
2) Live conference and quicker face to face interaction with doctor and patient
3) Up to date information of patient for diagnosis and education
As the article states:
"One of my patients is over 90 years old and she can’t leave the house," said Patch. With the Health Solutions technology, he can "conduct a private appointment with her over the computer and discuss her care with her family without forcing her to get into a car and drive an hour for an office visit. From a patient’s perspective it’s an added convenience that could potentially decrease their healthcare cost".
What does that mean for me? Everything is converging like telephony was back then.. And the industry is only getting bigger.. Finding solution to meet the clients' needs are greater enhanced
