TODO - In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, many barriers to telemedicine
disappeared. Virtual visits and telemonitoring strategies became
routine. Evidence is accumulating regarding the safety and efficacy of
virtual visits to replace in-person visits. A structured approach to
virtual encounters is recommended. Telemonitoring includes patient
reported remote vital sign monitoring, information from wearable
devices, cardiac implantable electronic devices and invasive remote
hemodynamic monitoring. The intensity of the monitoring should match the
risk profile of the patient. Attention to cultural and educational
barriers is important to prevent disparities in telehealth
implementation.
