What kinds of facilities are required for specialty consultations?
Careful consideration should be given to selecting a facility. These consultations are virtual office visits and so the many concerns that apply to the facility for face-to-face visits also apply to telemedicine consults. These concerns include privacy, comfort and utility. In addition, several considerations exist that are unique to telemedicine consults. For live, interactive consultations, the environment needs to be designed to enhance the quality of the video and audio interactions and to accommodate the equipment that might not normally be in an examination room.
