“…From July to September 2020, we found that the use of telemedicine (i.e., either telephone or video) varied widely across medical specialty service lines, despite existing evidence bases of telemedicine across these service lines. 14,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] These patterns of differential uptake may underscore important clinical and implementation considerations that should be further investigated and described.…”

Background: Our objective was to examine the variation in telemedicine adoption by specialty line and patient demographic characteristics after the initial peak period of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic when in-person visits had resumed and visit volume returned to prepandemic levels. Materials and Methods: Aggregated encounter data were extracted for six service lines (dermatology, psychiatry, endocrinology, cardiology, orthopedics, and nonurgent primary care) in an integrated health system across three time periods:

“…The practice of telemedicine is drastically changing healthcare services delivery due to its flexibility and easy integration into a multitude of areas and specialties [ 1 ]. As an emerging practice, telemedicine is loosely described as a medical consultation provided via a remote channel, usually via video-conference software and associated equipment [ 2 , 3 ] in which the most salient attributes are cost-effectiveness for both parties and overall emphasis on comfort and privacy afforded by avoiding public facilities [ 4 ].…”

Background: The increase in demand for Telemedicine globally has continued to rise in recent months, showing remarkable success in a variety of medical fields. As dermatology shows one of the most prolific rates of success, having a clear national picture of practitioner opinion on the subject is important. In this study we aimed to quantify the overall level of acceptance and satisfaction of Saudi dermatologists towards the practice of teledermatology. Design and setting: Data was collected by means of a survey which included demographic data and level of exposure and overall satisfaction towards Telemedicine in their field. Results: A total of 102 questionnaires were returned of which 57.8% had engaged in at least one teleconsultation. Of these, 71.2% showed support for the technology, with negative responses being associated with poor infrastructure or implementation in the workplace. Conclusion: The acceptance of dermatologists to teledermatology consultations in Saudi Arabia shows a positive tendency, with the majority of those who engaged in the practice saying they would do so again and find it satisfactory. Creating more reliable and robust tools and greater training in their use would be beneficial for its further incorporation.

“…In contrast, we found no difference in uptake between telephone and videoconference services. While there are few studies comparing telephone to videoconference services in clinical genetics, there are many studies comparing telehealth outcomes in other areas of medicine; although, outcomes evaluated vary widely across the studies 39–41 …”

Randomized study of remote telehealth genetic services versus usual care in oncology practices without genetic counselors

et al. 2021

Purpose To examine the benefit of telehealth over current delivery options in oncology practices without genetic counselors. Methods Participants meeting cancer genetic testing guidelines were recruited to this multi‐center, randomized trial comparing uptake of genetic services with remote services (telephone or videoconference) to usual care in six predominantly community practices without genetic counselors. The primary outcome was the composite uptake of genetic counseling or testing. Secondary outcomes compare telephone versus videoconference services. Results 147 participants enrolled and 119 were randomized. Eighty percent of participants in the telehealth arm had genetic services as compared to 16% in the usual care arm (OR 30.52, p < 0.001). Five genetic mutation carriers (6.7%) were identified in the telehealth arm, compared to none in the usual care arm. In secondary analyses, factors associated with uptake were lower anxiety (6.77 vs. 8.07, p = 0.04) and lower depression (3.38 vs. 5.06, p = 0.04) among those who had genetic services. There were no significant differences in change in cognitive or affective outcomes immediately post‐counseling and at 6 and 12 months between telephone and videoconference arms. Conclusion Telehealth increases uptake of genetic counseling and testing at oncology practices without genetic counselors and could significantly improve identification of genetic carriers and cancer prevention outcomes.
