Telemedicine

Faculty: Ben Peirce, BA, RN, CWOCN; Liz Powell, RN, MN, CRNP

Description:Telehealth uses electronic information and communication to provide and support healthcare when distance separates the participants. It can be as simple as two clinicians discussing a case over the telephone or as complex as using broadband to provide a real-time consultation thousands of miles away. This session will address the practical and technical aspects of telemedicine and review the evidence supporting its use.
