“…As we accrue more experience with telemedicine, it has become apparent that there are many features of this method of care delivery that make it an attractive option [ 5 ]. Our data demonstrate that reassigning the non-utilized procedure time of faculty members and increased use of telemedicine, during a time of significant financial strain on healthcare systems, resulted in clinical as well as financial benefits.…”

“…It should be emphasized that public health is not an individual or government matter but it is the overall responsibility of a society ( 22 ). The third key point is the importance of the development of telemedicine training courses ( 23 ), forensic training ( 24 ), and patient referral systems ( 25 ) for medical professionals and health workers. Most developed countries have developed several statistical evidence based decision-making systems ( 26 ) and this should also be extended to under-developed and non-developed countries.…”

The world is currently gripped by the fear of the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The causative agent of COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that attacks humans without prejudice, and primarily targets the respiratory system. Pakistan is a developing country with a large population and a weak economy. Currently, it is facing a major challenge to cope with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially the third wave. This fatal virus has increased its presence many folds in Pakistan. On average, 100 deaths per day were being recorded in the late spring of 2021. Delay in the acquisition of vaccine has slowed down the vaccination program for this disease. This in turn will accelerate the spreading of virus, and thus will lead to a lockdown situation.

“…The COVID-19 global pandemic [ 1 ] continues to influence unprecedented change for the United States health care industry. Ambulatory (outpatient) care organizations continue to adjust process and service-delivery modifications in an attempt to pursue both continuity and related patient outcomes [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. The implementation of telehealth [ 5 ] resources and extension of prior organizational telehealth initiatives assist with physical distancing requirements set by state governments and public health professionals in the United States, while also helping to achieve quality patient care and related outcomes.…”

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ambulatory (outpatient) health care organizations continue to respond to the COVID-19 global pandemic using an array of initiatives to provide a continuity of care and related patient outcomes. Telehealth has quickly become an advantageous tool in assisting outpatient providers in this challenge, which has also come with an adaptation of U.S. government policy, procedures, and, as a result, organizational protocols surrounding the delivery of telehealth care. This systematic review identified three primary facilitators to the implementation and establishment of telehealth services for the outpatient segment of the United States health care industry: patient engagement, operational workflow and organizational readiness, and regulatory changes surrounding reimbursement parity for telehealth care. Additionally, researchers also identified three barriers impacting the implementation and use of telehealth resources: patient telehealth limitations, lack of clinical care telehealth guidelines, and training, technology, and financial considerations. This systematic review’s identified facilitators and barriers for telehealth implementation initiatives in the United States can assist future outpatient providers as the global pandemic and associated public health initiatives such as physical distancing continue.
