Jennifer Stephens et al. Prim Care. 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Asynchronous telehealth provides a viable option for improving access in a convenient and timely manner to patients seeking care as well as for physicians seeking subspecialty consultation. Access to technology, clear guidelines, standards, and expectations is required for this innovation to function well. Limitations in access due to patient and technology factors is an area that requires attention. Positive impact on access and quality has been demonstrated. Rapid development continues and was enhanced with the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic.

Keywords: Asynchronous telemedicine; E-consults; E-visits; Virtual consultation.
