There is one clinical trial.
The current COVID-19 pandemic has caused delays in initial or follow-up encounters between surgical patients and physicians. While this delay allows for resource allocation to those most severely affected by the pandemic, surgeons are faced with potential important delays in diagnosis and the expanding backlog of elective cases and initial evaluations. This project will assess surgeon and patient telemedicine perspectives. Pre-pandemic views on telemedicine among a cohort of surgeons will be obtained and compared to views at 3 months from the peak of the pandemic. Patients will be surveyed following telemedicine appointments with an anonymous questionnaire to learn about patient receptiveness to telemedicine. Barriers to implementation will be addressed throughout the duration of the study.
Description: Surgeons will take an anonymous survey early after the start of the study regarding perceptions to telemedicine and perceived barriers to implementation. Surgeons will be asked again after 3 months from the peak of the pandemic to take another survey to assess how the pandemic has changed perceptions to telemedicine and the observed barriers to implementation.
Measure: Evaluate surgeon perceptions to telemedicine and perceived barriers to implementation Time: 6 monthsDescription: Patients will take an optional anonymous survey at the end of each telemedicine encounter to assess patient perceptions to telemedicine and barriers to implementation.
