What is WI TeleHealth Services:
Wisconsin TeleHealth Services, or telemedicine, is a way for older adults to receive medical care remotely using a digital device like a smartphone or computer. Telehealth can be a convenient and cost-effective way for older adults to receive care.
It can also help those with mobility or transportation limitations who may have difficulty getting to a doctor's office.
Telehealth can be used for a variety of care, including:
• Lab test or x-ray results
• Mental health treatment
• Recurring conditions like migraines or urinary tract infections
• Skin conditions
• Prescription management
• Urgent care issues like colds, coughs, and stomach aches
During the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth has been used in both home and long-term care settings. In long-term care settings, telehealth has been used to provide collaborative support for getting advice from multiple specialists.
