The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism: Appropriate Use of Telehealth Visits in Endocrinology
The Endocrine Society released new guidance to use telehealth as part of endocrine care. The new policy perspective was created as a result of the rapid growth of telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic and is broken down into 5 specific focus areas to determine appropriateness of telehealth in different settings. The Endocrine Society convened a 9-member panel of US endocrinologists with expertise in telehealth clinical care, telehealth operations, patient-centered care, health care delivery research, and/or evidence-based medicine. For each domain, 2 or 3 members drew on existing literature and their expert opinions to draft a section examining the effect of the domain’s component factors on the appropriateness of telehealth use within endocrine practice. The guidance suggests that endocrine care is likely to involve a hybrid of in-person and telehealth visits. For additional coverage, see the Endocrinology Network.
