Sample Answer
The rise of telehealth: Telehealth is the use of telecommunications technology to provide health care services remotely. This includes services such as video conferencing, phone calls, and secure messaging. Telehealth is becoming increasingly popular as it allows patients to receive care without having to travel to a doctor’s office. This can save patients time and money, and it can also improve access to care for people who live in rural areas or who have difficulty traveling.
