AMA Telehealth Quick Guide May 30, 2023 AMA, Coronavirus, RCMA, Resources, Telehealth 0 The use of telehealth was broadly expanded throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure uninterrupted care for patients, including those with chronic conditions. Many provisions for the use of telehealth were created as part of the government-enacted Public Health Emergency (PHE) to increase the ease of adoption and use of telehealth. Now that the PHE has ended, some of the telehealth flexibilities will expire in the months to come. This telehealth quick guide is intended to help physicians, practices and health systems navigate these changes. While telemedicine has historically referred to remote clinical services, telehealth can refer to a broader array of services using both synchronous and asynchronous technologies, including: Real-time, audio-video visits. Store-and-forward technologies. Online digital visits and/or brief check-in services, including verbal/audio-only check-ins. Inter-professional internet consultations. Remote patient-monitoring.
