So, how will the trend in bringing healthcare to the patient rather than bringing the patient to the healthcare impact on medical travel? International healthcare brands such as Mayo, Cleveland and HCA have integrated teleconsultation and telediagnosis into their international patient offering. A dedicated telemedicine/teleconsultation/telediagnosis service is now a “must have” for any hospital business that is serious about servicing the international patient.

Bringing healthcare to the patient rather than the patient to the healthcare may offer a better return for those major healthcare providers currently servicing international patients.
