Due to a lack of accessible facilities and clinicians, long travel distances, wait times, and scheduling conflicts, many Veterans do not get the care they need. Telehealth, which provides healthcare access to millions across the country, serves as a trusted solution to these issues. By supplying remote, board-certified providers, Telehealth offers the advantage of flexible patient care, especially when addressing scheduling conflicts.
According to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, more than 2.2 million Veterans have used telehealth “to connect with their care team from home, a VA facility, or wherever they are located.” Whether for chronic conditions, mental health resources, or simple check-ups, telehealth is a valuable implementation that creates easy access for patients across all facilities.
LT Telehealth, powered by LocumTenens.com, is changing the public narrative. Our extensive network of clinicians allows us to facilitate rapid access to specialty expertise, improve patient care coordination and increase capacity and flexibility efficiently and effectively.
