Telemed and Chronic disease management.
Many people are still utilizing the same old methods of going into see a doctor for their chronic disease. The days of having to have a steady doctor that you saw every day in their office are changing. Many doctors are doing telemedicine and patients are loving this way of doing business.
For many people who use Urgent care centers and pop-up clinics in CVS or Walgreen, telemedicine is a great solution which negates having to actually leave home. You can call a doc on zoom, get diagnosed and get a prescription sent to your local pharmacy which you can then either have delivered to you or pick up.
This is great especially for young people who are healthy as most diseases that need a diagnosis are simple.
What to do if you have chronic diseases though. You most definitely need a doctor but can you do telemedicine???
The answer is yes, but not in a pop up fashion. You will need to establish with a doctor that does telemedicine and chronic disease managment, who can order your labs, follow you and keep in touch to ensure that you are getting to your health goals and actually in control and getting better.
