What is telehealth?

Telehealth is defined in part as the use of real-time information sharing by a telehealth provider to provide health care services that include assessment, diagnosis, consultation, treatment, and monitoring of a patient. Telehealth does not include audio-only telephone calls, e-mail messages, or fax transmissions. Telehealth includes video capabilities as well and remote monitoring
