Product Description
"Home Telehealth", the newest addition to the "RSM Press telemedicine" series, describes the medical treatments that can now take place in the home thanks to advances in telemedicine technology. As demand on hospitals increases, as well as concern about the secondary infections that can be contracted during visits, health experts and government advisors are looking at ways in which the long term sick, as well as acute patients, can be treated in alternate settings. This book covers what has been done to date, as well as presents practical guidance on setting up a suitable home care facility, and shows how this facility interacts with the health professional.
