TLDR
The rest of the world moved forward with healthcare by embracing telemedicine, which is now a healthcare standard rather than a return to former methods. Nursing homes would do very well to follow suit and follow suit as well. The average post-acute care patient waits 3.2 days to see a doctor, and in rural communities the average wait is 8.1 days. With telemediine, in-house medical care is available to every nursing home. This means that rehospitalization and overall hospital readmissions from nursing homes can drop by as much as 70%.via the TL;DR App
