Telehealth Resources

Technological advances have introduced new ways to facilitate care outside clinical settings and support health monitoring and promotion of wellness in-home and community settings.

Telehealth — sometimes called telemedicine — enables healthcare to be provided without an in-person office visit. Telehealth is done primarily online with internet access on a computer, tablet, or smartphone and can include video visits, phone calls, and various types of online communication. Telehealth has become much more widely used in recent years because of this, Heart Rhythm Society has partnered with the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association to develop telehealth resources to advance the use of this type of care.
