Turn Healthcare Workers Loose with Outpatient Telemedicine-Let

Index

Abstract

This commentary advocates for the widespread adoption of outpatient telemedicine, highlighting its effectiveness, educational value, and cost-effectiveness. The authors challenge the existing barriers, such as reimbursement disparities and concerns about digital literacy, presenting evidence that telemedicine is a viable and often superior alternative to in-person visits for many conditions. They urge against top-down regulations and instead propose empowering healthcare workers to determine the best applications of telemedicine in their practices.
