Abstract

Due to the growth of globalization and the increase of access to internet, it is crucial to incorporate telehealth in the worldwide health system since it involves the use of innovative technologies in synchronic or asynchronous time. Indeed, given the high contagion rate of COVID-19, tele-triage has been the frequently strategy used to monitoring the spread of coronavirus disease. Then, there is no doubt that the actually world emergency caused by COVID-19 will serve up to impulse the development and rise of use of telehealth. Most countries have innovate in the implementation of telehealth systems but some others -especially in Latin America- such as Venezuela have not, because of its underdeveloped and collapsed current situation. Although telehealth has had many achievements, it must fight to establish itself in society in a post-pandemic world.
