Tele-Endocrinology
What Tele-Endocrinology Can Do for Patients
Minimizing how long patients must wait for care has been a perennial pain point for medical providers. Achieving this goal is now within reach, thanks to the increasing adoption of telehealth models. This progress particularly benefits the field of endocrinology, where wait times for new patients to be seen are higher than almost any specialty in medicine by a factor of two.
Tele-endocrinology can also be instrumental in delivering care to patients in remote areas. Data from the CDC’s telehealth in rural communities intervention revealed that patient dietary compliance improved by 21% while proper blood sugar assessments increased by 30%. This is just one of the benefits tele-endocrinology can deliver. Contact the team at Beam Healthcare to learn more.
