Telehealth (often used interchangeably with telemedicine) is the delivery of healthcare remotely — video consultations, secure messaging, e-prescribing and remote patient monitoring.
It expands access, reduces no-shows and supports follow-up and chronic-care management. To be compliant it must integrate with the EMR, support e-prescriptions, and meet local licensing and data rules.
SBS implements telehealth integrated with the HIS/EMR — scheduling, video, documentation and billing — with Arabic support. See our telemedicine solution.
