Swedish Telehealth Program

This overview of the Telehealth program at Swedish Health Services features Telehealth director Tammy Cress describing the program's development and major benefits. Telehealth brings direct access of specialty care into the community via highly reliable, secure video-conferencing technology. Telemedicine technology reduces delay in time-critical emergency situations by allowing remote specialists to assist with diagnosis and immediate treatment. Cress discusses other advantages, as well as peripheral telemedical tools that act as the eyes and ears of a remote physician.
