Characteristics of telemedicine workflows in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The use of telemedicine increased dramatically in nursing homes (NHs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about the actual process of conducting a telemedicine encounter in NHs. The objective of this study was to identify and document the work processes associated with different types of telemedicine encounters conducted in NHs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

There and back again: the shape of telemedicine in U.S. nursing homes following COVID-19.

Introduction: Telemedicine use in nursing homes (NHs) expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objectives of this study were to characterize plans to continue telemedicine among newly adopting NHs and identify factors limiting its use after COVID-19.

Methods: Key informants from 9 Wisconsin NHs that adopted telemedicine during COVID-19 were recruited.
