The Difference Between TeleNephrology and TeleHealth

TeleNephrology
TeleNephrology services involve the delivery of clinical medicine via real-time telecommunications such as telephone, the internet, or other communications networks or devices that do not involve in person direct patient contact.

TeleHealth
TeleHealth is broader than telemedicine and takes in all health care services that are provided via live, interactive audio and visual transmissions of a physician-patient encounter. These health care services include non-clinical services, such as provider training, administrative meetings, and continuing medical education in addition to clinical services. TeleHealth may be provided via real-time telecommunications or transmitted by store-and-forward technology.
