What is the impact of Telemedicine on the quality of
healthcare?
Telemedicine has generally impacted positively in the provision
of healthcare. Telemedicine improves efficiency in healthcare
provision, inasmuch as it shortens time for service delivery
(ATA, 2016). Considering that there are cases where healthcare
services can be required for patients in isolated places,
telemedicine comes in handy (ATA, 2016). Additionally,
through a platform which Telemedicine provides, it is possible
for healthcare professionals to exchange notes on crucial
matters pertaining health thus improving service delivery. On
the other hand, the patients enjoy the benefit saving time that
could otherwise be used for frequent visits to the healthcare
facility. In regard to this, the healthcare facilities will receive
fewer patients hence able to conveniently handle them without
further ado. Besides, the healthcare professionals can remotely
monitor their patients hence lowering healthcare cost involved
in traveling (ATA, 2016). Also, transmission of diseases is
significantly reduced because the sick does not have to interact
directly with others like fellow patients or even the healthcare
providers. Telemedicine holds a special place in the future of
healthcare provision. Apart from alleviating infectious parasites
and diseases among the patients, telemedicine has a lot of other
benefits which significantly improves healthcare. However,
telemedicine has its inadequacies which cannot be solved by
any other means rather than direct physician-patient contact.
There specialized cases which require close supervision of
doctors. In such cases, telemedicine is largely ineffective.

2. In brief, explain how can Telemedicine be part of the six aims
for improvement? Quality Chasm report.
According to the quality chasm report, the six aims for
improvement are made up of safety (ATA, 2016). Telemedicine
has a significant place in this report because of its ability to
accomplish all the aims for improvement. As seen before, there
are cases where healthcare services can be required for patients
in isolated places, telemedicine comes in handy. As a result,
telemedicine helps to improve equity in healthcare provision
(Tamas, 2015). Additionally, through a platform which
Telemedicine provides, it is possible for healthcare
professionals to exchange notes on crucial matters pertaining
health thus improving service delivery. On the other hand, the
patients enjoy the benefit saving time that could otherwise be
used for frequent visits to the healthcare facility. In regard to
this, the healthcare facilities will receive fewer patients hence

What is the impact of Telemedicine on the quality of health
care?
Telemedicine can be viewed by consumers as “more-convenient,
more-timely way to get care. It also happens to be a more cost-
effective way to get care” (Bell, 2018). Also, regarding
Medicaid it is viewed as both a way to improve upon patient’s
health in a real time interactive communication exchange and a
cost effective alternative than seeing a provider face-to-face

3. (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, n.d.). Also, if a
patient was to enter the Emergency Room during the middle of
the night (when most providers must be called in) telemedicine
is a great resource. It helps to provide consultations with
providers that may be long distances but able to offer medical
advice in real time (Brown, 2016). This eliminates patients
having to wait until the on-call provider can arrive at the
hospital, therefore hopefully making shorter wait times for the
consultation. Not only is telemedicine helping with costs, more
convenient, and helping with wait times it is also helping rural
area healthcare. Through telemedicine larger urban hospitals
can link with rural hospitals and help provide telemedicine
support through a private Ethernet connection, for example
(Brown, 2016). This helps rural hospitals have more access to
specialists for their patients, therefore creating a higher quality
of care. But is important to note that when utilizing
telemedicine that providers ensure that the new technology
ensures patient confidentiality, ensure the telehealth vendor is
legitimate, and ensuring that old technology will blend well
with the new technology (or at least understand what must be
done to make the old and new technology compatible) (Hertz,
2013).
In brief explain how can Telemedicine be part of the six aims
for improvement? Quality Chasm report.
The six aims include: safe, effective, patient centered, timely,
efficient, and equitable (Institute of Medicine, 2001).
Telemedicine I think tries to accomplish the six aims for
improvement. For example, it gives hospice patients the ability
to use Skype to talk with providers therefore allowing them to
stay in their homes (Brown, 2016) this is an example of
telemedicine being patient centered. When urban hospitals link
up with rural healthcare via telemedicine (Brown, 2016), I think
that throughout the course of the hospitals being linked all six
aims can be accomplished. For example, it can be more
effective, efficient, safe, patient centered, and timely for a

4. patient in a rural hospital to see a specialist via telemedicine
than to otherwise travel a great distance to receive care.
