Telemedicine Providers for Health Care Facilities in South Dakota

Telemedicine Providers for Health Care Facilities  

We understand you want to provide the best healthcare possible to your patients throughout South Dakota. However, it can be difficult to provide excellent patient care when resources are unavailable or stretched thin and budgets are tight. Between busy schedules and limited appointment availability, it can be difficult for patients to find time to see doctors. However, telemedicine providers in South Dakota allow for effective health care delivery to seamlessly bring people and care to create a more connected patient experience.

Alina Telehealth partners with hospitals, outpatient clinics and other healthcare facilities nationwide. Using our secure, HIPAA-compliant video teleconferencing technology or the facility’s existing video conferencing software, patients receive care when they need it most.

What is Telemedicine?

Telemedicine is the facilitation and delivery of health-related services, including medical care, informational health and wellbeing services, and patient and provider health education through telecommunications technology. This form of care does not require physical presence or a physical exam, as all services are conducted virtually. 

The healthcare industry has undergone a mass transformation, and new technology has made it possible to safely substitute telemedicine visits for in-person office visits. Because of devices such as phones, tablets and computers, health care provides can easily access test results and communicate with patients over vast distances.
