EVALUATION THE ROLE OF TELEMEDICINE IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE, LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
Background: Frequent hospital visits can be costly because of transportation expenses, especially in rural areas. In the Covid-19 Pandemic age, telemedicine is preferred by humans as face-to-face interaction becomes unsafe. Thankfully, telemedicine services that utilize videoconferencing or other virtual technology can lessen the need for medical visits.
Methods: The Medline, Pubmed, Embase, NCBI, and Cochrane databases were searched for studies of role of Telemedicine in Primary Health Care.
Conclusion: By facilitating virtual consultations, telemedicine facilitates changes in lifestyle and eases the burden of office work for both doctors and patients. By lowering barriers to care related to distance and improving appointment convenience, it enhances access to care, particularly in rural areas. Through enabling remote information sharing, providing prompt advice, and reducing travel for both patients and physicians, this technology improves the quality of healthcare.
