the healthcare delivered through the means of technology. However, telehealth is a broad
and most commonly used term which encompasses broad range of diagnostics,
management of the delivery of health care, health related education delivery and the other
associated fields of healthcare. Telehealth include several services which include home
health, dentistry, occupational and physical therapy, counselling, disaster management,
chronic disease management and monitoring, educating consumers professionally. This
study is based on the viability of incorporating the telehealth services which will help in the
effective transmission of health care services by the hospitals (Mistry, 2012). The report
focusses on the proposal of a telehealth plan that will be beneficial for the stakeholders and
will help in an assisted delivery of advanced healthcare.
