Rite Aid rolls out in-store virtual doctor visits

Some Detroit Rite Aid stores are getting kiosks that allow patients to interact in real time with physicians and nurses.
With Rite Aid's face-to-face consultations over the Internet, customers can see and speak directly to doctors who are able to discuss symptoms, provide guidance, diagnose and prescribe certain medications. Customers can also interact with OptumHealth nurses, who are able to offer basic health care education, information on common acute issues and assistance in identifying appropriate provider options for care.
The full story is over at Computerworld.
