For acute-care needs, providers can be accessed for on-demand visits. For follow-up, specialist care, scheduled visits are also available. Video-based telehealth enables a two-way, face-to-face conversation between the patient and provider that allows you to see the patient and guide them through a physical examination, as well as see elements of their environment for more informed decision-making.

4. For Doctor: How do I examine a patient?
While telehealth is a different modality and type of visit, we find that doctors very quickly adapt to a telehealth examination. For one, when evaluating a patient, the provider uses the same skills as they would in person . While there are limitations relative to an in-person visit, a live video based visit is more robust than a phone call or any communication. At a high level, there are a few key factors when conducting a live telehealth video visit: taking a good history; assessing the overall appearance of the patient – including mental status, pain level, and toxic or ill appearance; and whether or not the patient might need in-person care. An added benefit to examination over telehealth is that the provider can gain information from the home that would not have been available in a clinical setting. Patients are generally comfortable in their home and often open up more.
