Encyclopedia : H : HE : HEA : Health care delivery
Health care delivery is the process of providing health care. There are many ways of providing healthcare in the modern world.

This could be when practitioner and patient communicate over the phone, video conferencing, the internet, email, text messages, or any other form of non-face-to-face communication.
