WoMBA is THE answer for telemedicine solution providers. Telemedicine, is one of the newest and fastest growing segments in the healthcare space. However until now, Telemed providers could not access the medical histories of new or remote patients in a timely fashion.

Telemedicine offers great promise for the practice of medicine. Its potential for addressing access to information, facilitating the ready provision of expert advice, offering standards of quality advice from remote locations is revolutionizing modern medicine. These rapid advances in medicine and technology are quickly transforming today’s medical practice in ways that were not imaginable a generation ago. While these advances offer opportunities to improve the delivery of health care, they also present challenges to practitioners both in regard to access of medical history as well as in regard to privacy regulations and billing. Regardless of the many unknowns, adoption of telemedicine is growing as physicians seek innovative ways to provide clinical healthcare to patients who are at a distance, have a disability, or face other barriers that can impede access to quality care as well as patients who are seeking doctors from their home country while overseas.

Technology has evolved to allow a doctor in New Jersey to consult with a patient in Arkansas while a New Yorker can speak with his therapist while visiting Amsterdam. Despite telemedicine explosive growth factors such as lack of medical history limit the extent to which a remotely located doctor can actually assist a patient not physically in his/her office. In addition, one of the AMA requirements states that “[U]nder AMA policy guidelines, a patient-physician relationship must generally be established before medication can be prescribed through a telemedicine contact. As part of this relationship, the physician must (i) obtain a reliable medical history and perform a physical examination of the patient, adequate to establish the diagnosis for which the drug is being prescribed and to identify underlying conditions and/or contraindications to the treatment recommended/provided.” Telemedicine practitioners who subscribe to WoMBA, can, with a Hipaa release,access medical records almost instantly on behalf of their patient or have patients share their medical records with them allowing for better treatment.
