The concept of telemedicine, or Virtual Healthcare, is one that describes any kind of health related service, information or consultation that is delivered in a virtual capacity. Hence the portmanteau of the words telecommunication and medicine. As a healthcare service, telemedicine may be considered valuable to people due to the ease of access to medical services, where access may otherwise be delayed or unavailable. The aim of telehealth, telemedicine and virtual healthcare is to improve the accessibility of health related services, which in turn may lead to an improvement in the overall quality of care received.
