NCBI: Real-World Outcomes in Cystic Fibrosis Telemedicine Clinical Care in a Time of a Global Pandemic

A new study found that telemedicine increases access to care for adults with cystic fibrosis living in regions remote to a cystic fibrosis specialty center, with 95 percent of patients with cystic fibrosis having access to telemedicine. Telemedicine accounted for 64 percent of encounters, hybrid visits accounted for 28 percent of encounters and in-person visits accounted for seven percent of encounters.
