JAMA Network Open: Assessment of Clinician Diagnostic Concordance with Video Telemedicine in the Integrated Multispecialty Practice at Mayo Clinic During the Beginning of COVID-19 Pandemic From March to June 2020

Researchers from Mayo Clinic conducted a study examining how concordant to an in-person diagnosis provisional diagnoses established at a video telemedicine visit are for patients presenting with a new clinical problem. The study found that telehealth can be just as accurate as in-person visits for diagnosing a variety of medical conditions. Provisional diagnosis on the virtual visits was consistent with the in-person reference standard in 86.9 percent of the cases analyzed.
