Expert medical advice is just a click or phone call away
House Calls for Healthcare Professionals: audio program
Patients today want timely access to health information. They want greater control over the care they receive. When their own physicians aren't available, they want viable, less expensive options to urgent care centers or hospital emergency rooms, especially for a minor illness or injury. They want to be able to share their health information electronically with caregivers, family members, or anyone else who needs to know. And they want tools to better coordinate their care.
Now there's a solution to all these patient concerns.
In this edition of House Calls, Bill Crounse, M.D., and his guests discuss how the partnership between Microsoft HealthVault and TelaDoc, a telephone-based, physician advice company, is giving people more choices and better options for the health information and care they need.
