How Telemedicine for Chronic Disease Management is Reducing the Burden on Existing Healthcare Systems

Chronic disease management continues to be one of the greatest healthcare challenges for providers across the United States. One recent study titled ‘An Empirical Study of Chronic Diseases in the United States’ shows that approximately half of all adults in the country have a chronic disease of some sort and, close to 33% of the total population is living with more than one chronic illness.

As chronic diseases continue to overwhelm our health system year after year, providers are now looking at ways they can improve their efforts at chronic disease management in a way that the quality of care being delivered is not negatively impacted.
