Telehealth is a strategy that can achieve these objectives. Telehealth is efficacious in several ways. First, telehealth enables clinicians to monitor high-risk patients more frequently, thus adding value to health services. Second, with the use of interactive systems, telehealth can substitute for live encounters, saving time and resources. Third, as the geriatric population increases, telehealth will support and enhance independent living by supplementing the existing network of care.
