Primary Care Telehealth in Wichita, KS

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is the practice of caring for patients remotely when the provider and patient are not physically present with each other. Modern man-doing-telehealthtechnology has enabled doctors to consult with patients by using HIPAA-compliant video conferencing tools.

Telehealth is a way you can connect with your health care team electronically and conveniently wherever you have internet from your phone, computer, or tablet. Audio-video encounters allow you access to care, education, and monitoring from wherever you are. KU Wichita Internal Medicine providers use the HIPAA-compliant platform Zoom to provide telehealth care for their patients.

Is Telehealth Right for Me?

Many conditions can be evaluated by your provider from the comfort of your home using a phone, tablet, laptop or computer with webcam capability.
