Telehealth is a two-way, real-time interactive communication between a patient and a physician
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
or practitioner at a distant site through telecommunications equipment that connects the patient
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
and clinician through real-time audio and video technology (AMA, 2025)
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
Telehealth adoption allows health care providers to bridge the gap in care by increasing
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
continuity of care, reducing patient travel burden, especially in rural and other underserved
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
populations, which ultimately helps health systems and physician practices focus more on
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
chronic disease management, enhancing patient wellness, improving efficiency, providing higher
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
quality of care, and increasing patient satisfaction. Some studies have shown how interventions
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
involving telehealth implementation improved HbA1c levels, treatment adherence, and self-
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
efficacy in diabetic patients. Implementing telehealth within this organization provides the
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
optimal alternative solution to traditional in-person care delivery for the underserved patients in
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
our community who live further than 45 minutes away from our facilities and suffer from
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
chronic health conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.

This Gantt chart displays a structured representation of the System Development Life Cycle
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
(SDLC) for implementing a new telehealth system in a midsize rural hospital using the waterfall
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
model. It outlines the five key phases of SDLC—planning, analysis, design and development,
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
implementation, and evaluation—each phase with designated subtasks, task managers, and
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
timelines. The chart highlights task dependencies and milestone achievements, ensuring seamless
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
integration across multiple medical offices. The development process spans a defined period,
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
with a multidisciplinary team, with each member being assigned to specific subtasks. This
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
timeline, with implementations, displays a 2-month, 1-week structured deployment of the new
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
telehealth system for this organization. Ultimately, this Gantt chart serves as a strategic roadmap
w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2 w2
to guide the successful development and integration of the new telehealth system.
