Benefits of Telemedicine

Through telemedicine, you can meet with experts in your health condition — without traveling hours to see them.

This has major upsides, including:

  • Earlier diagnoses and faster access to treatments.
  • Closer tracking of chronic conditions.
  • Time savings (many people save hours in travel time per appointment).
  • Cost savings (gas and other travel costs).
  • The same high-quality care you expect from an in-person visit.

What To Expect During a Telemedicine Consult

For scheduled video visits that you access from your home or office, you would start the appointment by signing in to your patient portal.

For UPMC Outpatient Telemedicine Center visits, you'll check-in at the front desk as you would with an in person doctor visit.

Then the on-site nurse will:

  • Take you to the exam room.
  • Weigh you and check your blood pressure.
  • Ask about your symptoms and any medicine you take.
  • Connect you to the doctor through a high-speed and secure video call.

Your virtual care specialist can:

  • See and talk to you much like they would if they were sitting in the room.
  • Look at your medical records and prior test results on their screen.
  • Ask you to make a follow-up telehealth visit with them if needed.

Your on-site nurse may use medical equipment that securely sends your doctor real-time data. These include Bluetooth stethoscopes, cameras, and other devices. The nurse may then leave the room so you can speak with the doctor in private.

When the call ends, the nurse will give you a printed summary of your visit that may include information about:

  • A new diagnosis or new treatment.
  • Further tests or procedures.
  • Where to go for testing or care.

You can book your next appointment before you leave the center, or later, by:

  • Calling your provider's office.
  • Booking online via your patient portal or through the UPMC Provider Directory.
