Drivers of telemedicine in primary care clinics at a large academic medical centre.

Background: COVID-19 disrupted healthcare routines and prompted rapid telemedicine implementation. We investigated the drivers of visit modality selection (telemedicine versus in-person) in primary care clinics at an academic medical centre.

Methods: We used electronic medical record data from March 2020 to May 2022 from 13 primary care clinics ( = 21,031 new,  = 207,292 return visits), with 55% overall telemedicine use.

Electronic Consults for Infectious Diseases in a United States Multisite Academic Health System.

We launched Infectious Disease electronic consultations (eConsults) in 2018. During the first 15.5 months, primary care practitioners submitted 328 eConsults; the most frequent reasons were a positive culture or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result, syphilis, and latent tuberculosis.
