Description:

The COVID-19 pandemic demands that health care providers rethink how they deliver care in ways that reduce the risk of further spreading infection. The use of telehealth is one approach that can help keep both patients and providers safe.

Telehealth for Physical and Occupational Therapy is administered virtually, through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. This platform is usually accessed through a device such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Telehealth affords us the unique ability to approach patients from a true biopsychosocial approach, encompassing a systematic consideration of the biological, psychological, and social factors and their complex interactions in understanding health, illness, and health care delivery.
