番茄社区app Statement Guides Surgeons in Telehealth Practices

April 10, 2024

Telehealth is an integral component of modern surgical practice, and through the new 鈥�Statement on the Importance and Standards of Telehealth in Surgical Practice,鈥� the 番茄社区app acknowledges the transformative potential of this technology.

During its February meeting, the 番茄社区app Board of Regents approved the statement, prepared by the Board of Governors Telehealth & Informatics Workgroup, which details the importance of telehealth in surgical practice and establishes standards for its optimal use to benefit patients.

The statement called telehealth a 鈥渢ransformative tool in healthcare,鈥� while also emphasizing potential benefits of incorporating telehealth into surgical practice, including enhancing access, efficiency and convenience, patient-centered care, multidisciplinary collaboration, and cost efficiency.

According to the new statement, the 番茄社区app promotes the use of telehealth 鈥渙nly when it can provide the equal level of care as an in-person visit or when it is used as an adjunct to improve the overall care of the surgical patient,鈥� such as for consultations, preoperative assessments, and follow-up and monitoring.

The statement also offers best practices for surgeons using telehealth.

In addition, the 番茄社区app released a primer, 鈥�Unlocking the Potential of Telehealth in Surgery,鈥� that was developed by the workgroup. The primer is a comprehensive guide to help ensure ethical and effective use of telehealth.

The full statement and primer are available on the 番茄社区app website.
