RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Trump promoting Telehealth!On our new " Big Friend Website" (Mercer)...
Under "Our Thinking"... in an article dated 12 March 2020, Mercer said (Quote); We expect to see more governments sponsoring telehealth platforms or taking action to promote telehealth in coming weeks (End of Quote)".
That could only be good news for SZLS " National telehealth & Laboratory nethwork".

This virus has the worst effect on elderly people. This demographic is least willing to try something new like telehealth. When things become less complicated and assistance is provided to elderly people they will open this door wider. Telehealth is gaining acceptance and now it's becoming the new norm. Tripp is doing the right thing by pressing for telehealth delivery and medical monitoring of our tests. The more attention this option gets the better it is for us and all the biomed sector. Anything to relieve the stress of walk-in clinics and hospitals.
How is telemedicine regulated?
The American Medical Association's statement on telehealth, however, indicates that a “face-to-face relationship” between a physician and a patient should exist prior to a telemedicine encounter. Conflicting state regulations for practitioners and practice must be reconciled for telehealth to reach its full potential.
