It allows long distance patient/clinician contact and care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring and remote admissions.

As well as provider distance-learning; meetings, supervision, and presentations between practitioners; online information and health data management and healthcare system integration.

Telehealth could include two clinicians discussing a case over video conference; a robotic surgery occurring through remote access; physical therapy done via digital monitoring instruments, live feed and application combinations; tests being forwarded between facilities for interpretation by a higher specialist; home monitoring through continuous sending of patient health data; client to practitioner online conference; or even videophone interpretation during a consult.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was enacted by the United States Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996.

It has been known as the Kennedy–Kassebaum Act or Kassebaum–Kennedy Act after two of its leading sponsors.

Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technology to provide clinical health care from a distance.

It has been used to overcome distance barriers and to improve access to medical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities.

It is also used to save lives in critical care and emergency situations.

A health professional, health practitioner or healthcare provider (sometimes simply "provider") is an individual who provides preventive, curative, promotional or rehabilitative health care services in a systematic way to people, families or communities.

A patient is any recipient of health care services.

The patient is most often ill or injured and in need of treatment by a physician, advanced practice registered nurse, physiotherapist, physician assistant, psychologist, dentist, podiatrist, veterinarian, or other health care provider.
