Telehealth Saskatchewan is a Saskatchewan Health program endorsed by The Action Plan for Saskatchewan Health Care as an effective approach to improve access to health services.
Telehealth Saskatchewan uses communication and information technology to support the delivery of clinical care and professional education services.

Using live, two-way videoconferencing, health care providers can apply the latest tele-diagnostic instruments, including digital stethoscopes, patient examination cameras, and digital imaging, to enable a remote patient to ‘visit' an out-of-town health care provider from their home community rather than having to travel. Health care providers can use Telehealth Saskatchewan for appropriate clinical appointments, consultations, follow-ups, meetings, and education sessions.

Telehealth Saskatchewan not only connects sites within its own provincial network , but it can link with other select sites provincially, nationally, and internationally.

"...Linking Communities for Health..."

Telehealth Saskatchewan's mission is to improve the quality and accessibility of health services and health information for all people in our province. We achieve this through the strategic integration of advancing audiovisual technologies with Saskatchewan Health, the regional health authorities, and their partners.

Telehealth Saskatchewan's goals are to:

• Improve access to health services and health care providers;
• Enhance rural practice support;
• Encourage optimal use of health care providers;
• Provide continuing education and health information to patients and the public; and
• Support provincial and regional service and education networks.
