“The advent of telemedicine has completely changed the quality and accessibility of rural ENT healthcare. Once a case is prepared properly, the ENT can make a fairly definitive diagnosis within 24 hours of the case being sent. This is amazing and far far surpasses accessibility and quality of most regions in the U.S., even in NY.”

In some instances, the decision to urgently transfer the patient with acute ECG findings was facilitated…In other cases, ECG telemedicine has prevented unnecessary travel of patients to the acute care setting.
