About

This video describes how telemedicine helps treat sick children in remote areas. James Marcin from UC Davis explains that telehealth is used to assess if kids need to be transferred to larger hospitals or can stay locally. It became crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic when hospital beds were scarce. The technology improves care quality, reduces errors, and increases satisfaction for parents and doctors. Setting up a system involves legal steps, good equipment, and training but offers many benefits for emergency preparedness.
