Telemedicine best practices when leading serious illness discussions #448

Article indépendant

HABIB, Muhammad Hamza | REGUNATHAN, Anup | SCHLOGL, Mathias

Use of telemedicine has increased exponentially. It has been associated with reduced out-of-pocket health care costs, decreased emergency department visits, reduced clinic no-show rates, improved patient care satisfaction, and an increase in access to palliative care specialists. Consequentially, more serious illness discussions are being conducted through telemedicine platforms and more loved ones can participate in these discussions through telemedicine platforms. This has created unique considerations as sensitive and emotionally distressing information about prognosis and goals of care are often discussed in these meetings. This Fast Fact offers tips on how to navigate these considerations. See Fast Fact #423 for telemedicine tips when connecting inpatients with loved ones.
