Abstract:
Live video and detailed images of nursing home residents can be transmitted in real time via the Internet. This telehealth system allows residents and long-term care health professionals to connect with experts not available on-site. Electronic stethoscope, otoscope, dermascope, dentalscope, and electrocardiogram are available for use via the Internet. Impediments to implementing telehealth systems in long-term care include costs and the lack of reimbursement for telehealth services. Reimbursement for telemedicine in nursing homes is limited by originating site, current procedural terminology codes, and facility location.
