Telemedicine services increase patient satisfaction with shorter waiting times and easier access. For example, a research study showed that each visit to the doctor takes 121 minutes of the patient's time, and only 20 minutes of that time are spent on the visit. By providing these services, the waiting time will be shorter. Also, in addition to increasing the patient's satisfaction, the time spent traveling and waiting is also saved .
With telemedicine, there will be less unnecessary hospitalization and the beginning of the disease diagnosis process. In fact, the detection stage is prioritized first. Fewer hospital admissions and freed up beds help patients with acute problems such as infections or chronic diseases to start their treatment process faster. It also allows doctors to be in contact with more patients and provides enough time to assess emerging symptoms and detect early problems before serious medical treatment is needed .
Patients spend a lot of money and time looking for medical services; With a remote visit, the doctor visits the patient via phone, laptop or any other digital device. Imagine that the costs of traveling for treatment in another city, parking and taking time off will be much less. In addition to the cash cost, the psychological costs of the person are also reduced .
In some rural areas, patients have to travel at night to reach the first treatment center in another city, or even in big cities, the person gets involved in traffic and issues like that, which can be stressful in addition to the discussion of spending money for this work. Such services will significantly reduce these costs .
