This article talks about how California has developed the nation's largest Telehealth network. This network can connect 800 California healthcare facilities to a statewide medical-grade network of healthcare and emergency services. The technology enables providers to share X-rays and other diagnostic tests instantaneously,view treatments and procedures from afar in distant emergency rooms or surgical centers as they happen. Telehealth comprises all the communication and information technology that allows care professionals to manage patients remotely. This allows patients to receive healthcare at home and reduce patient wait times and hospitals' costs. Telehealth is still relatively new but with this progress it will probably be considered around the world as a way to decrease healthcare system costs and a way to further help our patients.
