Sub Questions: What is telemedicine and what are its benefits? What are potential problems and challenges with telemedicine?
Annotated Bibliography Assignment Thomas, Dr. Liji. “What Is Telemedicine?” News
, 23 Aug. 2018, www.news-medical.net/health/What-is-Telemedicine.aspx. This article explains how telemedicine, also known as telehealth allows a healthcare provider to consult and communicate with their patient through then use of electronic audio
and visual means such as a phone call or video call. The benefits of telemedicine can be found in the convenience of patients being able to meet with a doctor if they are unable to physically be there, or even after hours if it’s an emergency. Some of the benefits of telemedicine is the little need of resources. All patients need is a web camera, and a secure portal for the patient to connect to the doctor. This ensures safety and confidentiality of medical records. This can also make getting second opinions of consultations easier because the patients would not have to run around town looking for another doctor to see them. This source can be extremely useful to answer out question of what telemedicine is and what are its benefits because it is not a large source and it gets to the point of

telemedicine quickly and efficiently. I believe this source is reliable because the article has multiple sources referencing where they got the information. Varshneya, Rahul. “7 Telemedicine Concerns and How to Overcome Them.” Telemedicine
, telemedicine.arizona.edu/blog/7-telemedicine-concerns-and-how-overcome-them. Telemedicine can have its own array of challenges making it difficult for people to utilize it to its full potential. Those challenges can be reimbursement for the patient, a lack of integration with the patient, service awareness, a patient’s lack of technical skills, the expenses of technology needed to communicate with a doctor, and overall privacy concerns. This article is a great source because it can point out and explain some of the challenges many people can face while others probably do not even think about these as potential challenges. The article also talks about was to overcome these challenges to make
telemedicine more accessible for everyone. I believe this is a reliable source because it is from the “University of Arizona” website specifically within its “Arizona Telemedicine Program” page. “Challenges in the Telehealth Industry: UIC Health Informatics.” UIC Online Health Informatics
, 9 July 2020, healthinformatics.uic.edu/blog/challenges-facing-the-telehealth-industry/. This article goes over a few more potential challenges of telemedicine such as the overall cost of it, the potential for a misdiagnosis, how to implement it on a large scale, and vendors
who would provide telehealth services. While the benefits are great, these are potential challenges consumers need to be ready to face. I think this article can also be greatly beneficial because it goes over potential problems the last article did not go over which overall helps narrow down what can be fixed and what will just have to be worked around.

This source can be relied upon as a credible source because it is from the University of Illinois Chicago Article p[age under the health and wellness topic. "Educational Sessions for Women with Opioid use Disorder Improve Engagement."
Contraceptive Technology Update
42.3 (2021)
ProQuest.
Web. 11 Feb. 2021.
Maine is a rural state. Women — particularly those with opioid use disorder — sometimes encounter barriers to reproductive healthcare services, including screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Telehealth is a good option for contraceptive and other reproductive health services for women who choose not to enter a family planning clinic because of transportation barriers or stigma from their substance use. Outreach educators met women with opioid use disorder through partnerships with community organizations, including programs that serve women affected by domestic violence, substance use treatment, needle exchange, and behavioral health. Women could receive HIV/STI counseling, testing, and contraceptive care through telehealth. Outreach educators help them
access telehealth providers and give them condoms and STI test kits. This source is a good example of a specific scenario where telemedicine can be used in a current issue people can face in today’s modern age. This source is reliable because Proquest is a reliable and trustworthy source since Edmund college offers it in the library.
