Understanding Telehealth

Telehealth, a component of telemedicine, refers to the use of electronics to provide healthcare services remotely. This innovative approach allows patients to receive timely advice, follow-up care, and support from the comfort of their homes, bridging the gap between patient needs and healthcare accessibility. In wound care, telehealth services range from virtual consultations and remote monitoring to digital prescriptions and follow-up assessments. This technique is a convenient alternative to traditional visits and ensures continuous, personalized care for patients with chronic wounds or those requiring post-surgery follow-up.

Telehealth services put your needs and comfort at the forefront. At Southwest Central Wound Care Center, we'll help you take the first step towards using telehealth for more accessible wound care. Contact our office for more information or to schedule a telehealth appointment with our specialists.

Setting Up Your Space for a

Virtual Wound Consultation

Creating an appropriate space for your virtual wound consultation is key to a successful telehealth experience. First, find a private, well-lit area where you can sit or lie down comfortably during the consultation. Ensure the lighting is bright enough for your wound care specialist to see the wound area clearly. Next, consider the positioning of your camera. Whether using a smartphone, tablet, or computer, make sure the camera can be easily adjusted to provide a clear view of the wound. Having a stable internet connection is also important to avoid disruptions during the consultation. Gather relevant medical records or notes about your wound's history and have them within reach. This will help your provider better understand your situation and provide tailored advice.
