Greenville Health System patients with minor ailments will soon be able to access a remote health care provider using technology instead of going to the doctor.
With SmartExams, established patients contact a service and provide their symptoms while a nurse practitioner or physician assistant calls them back to discuss a diagnosis and treatment plan.
SmartExams, which launches April 4, is one of several telehealth services popping up around the country in response to consumers who are looking for more convenient care in their busy lives and as the physician shortage makes it increasingly difficult to get a timely appointment with a doctor.
