Title: | Use of asynchronous interprofessional e-consults in cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic: Current and future role |
Abstract: | The COVID-19 pandemic created a unique challenge to health care systems, requiring rapid implementation of telemedicine services to provide continued care to patients while preserving personal protective equipment and decreasing the risk of disease transmission. Herein, we describe how our institution, an urban cancer center, utilized provider-To-provider telemedicine consultations (interprofessional e-consults) to provide subspecialty access to care to vulnerable patients in the epicenter of a global pandemic. © Copyright 2023, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 2023. |
