Numerous systematic reviews confirm the positive effects of telemedicine on patient mortality and duration of ICU stays and demonstrate improved patient safety and quality of care, particularly through stringent adherence to guideline, and reduction of medication errors. Ultimately, it is possible to reduce average treatment costs.

The profound effects of telemedical care are not only limited to hospitalisation periods, but is also apparent in the follow-up care situation. The number of surviving patients increases while the proportion of patients in need of longer-term care decreases.
