In the newest NAM Perspectives, Lydia Kavraki and others discuss how the widespread adoption of telemedicine clinic visits has revolutionized health care and improved accessibility, but privacy, security, and ethical concerns remain. They discuss how telemedicine has improved aspects of access to care, but has impaired the ability to address the health care needs of racial and ethnic minorities and underserved communities.
They suggest that the benefits derived from the rapid advancement of telehealth and digital technologies throughout 2020 have been balanced by a greater understanding of real-world limitations and deficiencies. |
