How can telemedicine help alleviate staff shortages?
Telemedicine offers a promising solution to pediatric staff shortages by enabling healthcare providers to reach more patients, especially in rural or underserved areas. Through telemedicine, pediatricians can conduct virtual consultations, follow-ups, and even some diagnostic procedures, reducing the need for in-person visits and optimizing the use of available resources. This approach can also help in managing chronic conditions and providing timely interventions, thereby improving overall patient care and reducing the strain on overburdened healthcare systems.
