I hope so!   Tele services have been very successful in public school therapies and some rural health practices.  For the elderly or those with transportation problems, telemedicine would be a God send.   Replacing phone calls to physicians with "face time" allows far greater assessment capacity for the provider.

Agree Megan Hamilton Telemedicine can address several social determinants such as travel yet still get face time. My hope (and we are seeing this happening already) is that telemedicine will and is being increasingly adopted and reimbursed. - Vera 77 months ago

Telemed services can certainly help the physician as well as the patient so do hope that it continues to be adopted. The major barrier has been reimbursement so hopefully we are moving beyond that hurdle. Imagine the impact on social determinants and time commitments from both sides.
