Teleconsultation refers to consultation between a provider and a specialist at distance using which modalities?

Teleconsultation relies on remote expert input using two main modes of communication. The asynchronous store-and-forward approach lets clinicians send patient data and images for review later, while real-time videoconferencing provides live, interactive discussion between the distant provider and the specialist. These options cover both non-urgent data review and immediate consultations, enabling thorough assessment with rich clinical information. In contrast, options like in-person contact aren’t remote, and basic text messaging or standard email don’t reliably support secure, comprehensive clinical review. Store-and-forward or real-time videoconferencing.
