in your opinion, what are effective methods that healthcare professionals could use to increase patients' comfort level with telemedicine ?
Patients may be reluctant to participate in Telemedicine as in this form of medicine the physical face to face contact between the patient and the physician is not there. Therefore patients are not comfortable in breaking the bond between the physicians.
The effective methods that healthcare professionals could use to increase patients' comfort level with telemedicine include educating the patients about the benefits of telemedicine such as; remote access, expertise available without going to the physician, which is very helpful especially if the patient, is too sick or old. Use of video calling can lead to a face to face communication as well.
