Abstract:
The use of telehealth for the management of the polytrauma patient provides a unique opportunity to leverage technology to enhance care for a complex patient cohort, to assist in clinical care, and to enhance support for community reintegration for veteran patients. Telehealth connects experts to patients in remote or underserved areas, thereby decreasing a health care disparity. This is especially important when the rehabilitation team is multidisciplinary. The future of telerehabilitation is unknown and implementing virtual care into rehabilitation providers' standard practice will be impeded until state licensure and payment issues are resolved.
