Telehealth

For over 10 years, Telehealth Saskatchewan has provided improved access to health services by enabling health providers to consult and treat patients remotely.

Using communication and information technology like two-way real time clinical appointments, consultations, follow-ups, meetings, and educational sessions, Telehealth helps to reduce the geographic and economic barriers many rural residents face when accessing health care services in urban centers.

Today there are over 100 Telehealth sites in Saskatchewan located throughout every health region in Saskatchewan. In 2008-09 , Telehealth Saskatchewan connected over 2100 patients with health care providers and provided over 10,000 hours of education sessions.
