What is Telehealth? What is Telemedicine?
• Telemedicine: The use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communication to improve a patient’s clinical health status.
• Telehealth: Broader scope that does not always include clinical services such as education or EMR; examples would be webMD or an online pre-op education.

HISTORY OF TELEMEDICINEHow we got to this place
![Page 7: Telemedicine Linking us all together for the good of our patients](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649ce05503460f949a9c00/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1860’sTelegraphs sent by Union on battlefields to rear areas with casualty reports and to order medical supplies.

Around 1906, Dr Willem Einthoven used telephone wires to transmit an EKG from one part of a hospital to another .

1960’s
• Nebraska State Hospital used 2-way closed circuit TV to another hospital 112 miles away for consultations and education.
• NASA developed telemedicine for astronauts.• Boston’s Logan Airport used closed circuit
black and white TV to link its clinic with Mass. General Hospital. – Study of 1000 patients. First Telenursing report.
