A hybrid model of patient care, combining telemedicine and traditional face-to-face visits, may offer the best of both worlds, minimizing the risk for disease transmission while maximizing practicality and patient safety.
“In a retrospective study, we analyzed the safety and efficacy of our project. We also assessed patient satisfaction, and the results were overwhelmingly positive,” Matt Schneiders, MD, said at the virtual Euretina congress.
This model of vitreoretinal hybrid telemedicine service was launched at the Sheffield Teaching Hospital, U.K., in the midst of the pandemic.
