The current healthcare organization that I work for has a virtual team program named the telehealth program. Telehealth allows my healthcare organization’s healthcare professionals check and treat their patients through an internet program. By utilizing live, two way audio and visual technology via a set program on the computer, tablet, and smartphones patients are given the opportunity to speak with various health care professionals from work and at home. With our organization, the telehealth team emails an individual in registration stating that there is a patient who needs to remote in with a physician at a set particular time.
