In primary care, telemedicine takes the form of phone calls. The patient seeks the doctor's counsel for non-urgent medical issues that do not necessitate the doctor's physical presence. Telemedicine does not replace in-person consulting when necessary but supplements it. The contemporary significance of telemedicine resides in the convenience it provides patients and physicians by eliminating the need for a physical visit to receive medical advice or treatment. It is more cost-effective than waiting for a doctor or other healthcare practitioner.
Telemedicine can improve patients' and physicians' experience by delivering second opinions more quickly and conveniently. Improved health outcomes should be the primary objective of all health services.
