✍ In this video, we will discuss the health inequalities and the role of Telehealth to improve on those equities that are extremely necessary.

Health is a human right but first, we need to understand what health really is. It's a multi-dimensional concept that goes beyond the mere absence of illness. So, the way we determine health is actually a construct that different people use in different ways.

A good health outcome depends on two different things. One is the length of life and then the other one is the quality of life and both are about 50 percent each. So health outcome is more than just access to care. As a matter of fact, only 20% of it is about health care and access to care. 30% is health behaviors, 10% is physical environments and then socioeconomic factors play a significant role in health inequalities in general.

Our ZIP code matters more than our genetic code. Our work status, education, family, income, community, and all the physical essences have a greater impact on our health because in a lower zip code inner-city, the air and water quality could be bad. But unfortunately, we often victim shame people for their bad behaviors like tobacco, diet, alcohol, etc., but that only accounts for 30%.

Even though clinical care is important, one of its main issues is that when we have lower social determinants of health, then access to care becomes very low. It will have a great impact on how we can access care. And that's where, in the age of telehealth, broadband access becomes such a key thing. Through telehealth, we can identify more things than usual clinical care because if the patient is at home, we can look at the surroundings and safety. We can also see, if the patient has adequate space, water, air, etc., So, through telehealth, we can actually be in their house without even visiting it which is truly amazing!

The following are the key promises of Telehealth.
1. Access
2. Allied
3. Analytics

The first and foremost is access which includes both timely care as well as value care. Due to Telehealth, we can provide value within their own houses. With access to allied care, we can have specialty care with the help of a wound nurse going to their house. Specialists like lactation consultation, social workers, therapists like speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutritionist, etc., can provide their care via telehealth and this can significantly change the way the patient has their health outcomes. The third promise of telehealth is analytics. As we know, all these data of patients can be analyzed and pumped into a population database. For example, if people living in a neighborhood have multiple asthma attacks, then the air quality of their whole neighborhood needs to be investigated. So these analytics can show up as an early warning sign and all this data needs to be turned into knowledge. And then once that knowledge is there, the wisdom for the policymakers can be there.
