What is Telehealth?For those patients who do not have quick and easy access to a health care provider, Telehealth is the solution.
Telehealth connects patients to health care professionals using live, two-way videoconferencing technology. This secure service is available in many health care facilities across the province and allows patients and doctors to communicate, both verbally and visually, from two completely separate areas of the province. Patients simply visit the nearest Telehealth site to meet with a professional in a virtual exam room.
Access to specialists located outside of Saskatchewan can also be arranged if that service is not offered in the province.
