What is telehealth?
Telehealth refers to digital communication technologies such as laptops and phones for diagnosis and treatment without necessarily having to visit a hospital. This cutting-edge technology involves delivering health-related services such as medical care, self-care, and general patient education through telecommunications. The experienced team at Oasis Healthcare Services, Inc. provides telehealth services to help you access the same remarkable care that you would receive during your inpatient treatments. Telehealth can be beneficial for you, more so if you live in distant locations from a healthcare facility.
How can you benefit from telehealth?
Telehealth makes it possible for you to receive quality healthcare services without traveling to and from a hospital. Telehealth is beneficial in that:
· Saves time
· Convenient
· No need to skip work or school
· Private
· No exposure to other illnesses from other patients

The team at Oasis Healthcare Service can complete several virtual primary care visits, making it easy to offer medical care to several patients within a short time. The team respects patient privacy, so you can rest assured that your health information is confidential during in-person and telehealth appointments.
What should you expect during telehealth appointments?
During the time for your telehealth appointment, the team puts a call through you. The team may inquire about your symptoms, medical history, past diagnoses, and if you're on any medications. Your provider conducts a thorough virtual physical examination by assessing injured or problematic parts of your body. For complex cases, the team may recommend in-person appointments to carry out diagnostic tests like heart function tests, covid-19 testing, allergy or asthma testing, throat or nasal swabs, blood tests, urine tests, and imaging procedures.
What are the available treatment options?
If the team detects an illness, injury, or disease from your virtual physical exam, they may recommend several treatments and create a personalized treatment plan. They may also inquire if you are allergic to any medicines for safety purposes. Your treatment plan may consist of:
· Inhalers
· Injury care
· Surgery
· Lifestyle adjustments
· Physical therapies
· Dietary supplements
· Immunizations
· Injections
In some cases, your provider may need to carry out diagnostic testing to determine the root cause of your symptoms.
