QUESTION 10 OF 25

How do you feel about telemedicine?

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine is probably here to stay, and everyone--including hospitals and groups--is looking for ways to incorporate it in a fiscally prudent way. You should be seen as ready to embrace it, not blindly, but thoughtfully within the parameters of what is considered good medical care.

"To me, the difference between telemedicine being appropriate or not is a function of Signs-vs-Symptoms. That is, I require a patient's physical presence and an exam to document signs that are applicable to the chief complaint, but symptoms are a different matter. If the patient is established with me and I am familiar with his or her case, I can discuss and manage symptoms or medications via telemedicine. If the patient is seeking an initial appointment with me, I would need to see him or her before relegating appropriately to telemedicine protocols."
