Great Britain kicked off the New Year with the initial rollout of an exciting new initiative: making telehealth technologies accessible to patients across the nation.
According to Netdoctor, the telehealth program, which will take five years to completely enact, follows successful trials in small regions of England. Patients with long-term health issues who participated in the pilot had nearly half the death rate of people who did not have access to telehealth devices. Emergency room admissions decreased considerably as well.
