It summarizes an interview with a practitioner and a visit to a home health care provider, and summarizes all findings in the conclusion: The greater direct communication of telemedicine streamlines the recordkeeping process while improving its quality, and it allows the caregiver to spend more time in direct contact with the patient, rather than in completing forms. The caregiver is able to give the patient more direct attention, thereby enhancing the customer’s satisfaction with the care he receives. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
