Service Name:	Telehealth Services
Telehealth makes the world a smaller place – a place where medical specialists and front-line doctors in remote locations can consult immediately; a place where patients can receive the treatment they need quickly and without leaving their communities. Today, in many parts of the world, people travel long distances to access quality or specialized health care. Technology exists to bridge these distances- virtually bringing patients and care providers together, even though they may be hundreds of kilometers apart. Telehealth moves information not people. Telehealth is not a new health care service. Rather it is a new medium for health care delivery. At TELUS, we believe our communication technology can improve lives. TELUS enables Telehealth technology to deliver improved quality and access to care at reduced costs to the health care system. Telehealth is the use of telecommunications and computer technology, combined with the use of specialized medical scopes and terminal equipment to exchange patient information. This information includes still images, live video, sound or data that can be sent on a real-time or store and forward basis between two or more locations. TELUS has been providing basic videoconferencing services in Alberta since 1977 and has been delivering telehealth applications in the province for the last five years. We have expertise with the design, implementation and operation of all aspects of telehealth systems; and we provide the high speed digital network that brings telehealth to life in Alberta and across the globe.
