Telemedicine
Benefits of telemedicine:
Telemedicine services have become a reality after the pandemic.
In some cases, like lack or loss of prescriptions from origin, or some kind of pathologies which doesn’t need an comprehensive physical examination, the telemedicine application method could be very useful, as it is much quicker and less expensive for the patient.
Our registered doctors can perform telemedicine and make telematic prescritptions valid in all the Spanish territory through the REMPe system.
Telemedicine
How does it work?
If it is considered that a telematic consultation is possible, we will ask for your detailed information and we will request your permission to store your information in our system in accordance with current European and Spanish legislation to make telemedicine appointments.
After that, we can coordinate a time for the video-conference or phone call.
A payment link will be sent from the GetNet secure server platform from Santander Bank, the biggest and most important bank of Spain. Once the payment is made, it’s possible to procced with the video consultation (see more information on telematic payments here).
Once one of our doctors evaluates your case, if prescriptions are needed, they will be sent to your email in an attached PDF file with a QR code, valid in all Spain through the REMPe platform.
In the case that the doctor considers that you need to go to a hospital for further evaluation or tests (blood tests, image tests, etc.), we can indicate the closest and more convenient options depending on your case and location.
Recently, a comparative study of teleconsultations versus face-to-face consultations has been published in PubMed, revealing a high degree of concordance between the two sets of diagnoses: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11571079/
