How Virtual Healthcare Began
Virtual medicine in the form of "telemedicine" has historically been practiced in settings where where physical contact between patient and physician was not possible or desirable such as in rural areas, military deployment or correctional facilities. Generally, these type of consultations were conducted through closed circuit TV or telephones with nurse or medic gathering the necessary information. Although this process was sufficient the meet the remote needs of these patients, the antiquated technology limited the scope of this type of practice.
However, the founders at Internet Medical Clinics™ realized that these benefits of reaching patients remotely could extend far beyond just rural settings. In fact, with the right technology, a telemedicine clinic was the perfect solution to the current inconvenient, inefficient and costly system of general practice medicine. From this notion, the Virtual Healthcare Delivery System was created.
