Here are the 10 metrics they employed:
- Volume of virtual visits.
- Number of additional appointments made available through telehealth.
- Change in the use of in-person clinics.
- Number of medical staff trained to use telehealth.
- Medical staff satisfaction with telehealth services.
- Development of new or innovative models of telehealth.
- Patient satisfaction with telehealth services.
- Change in no-show rates for in-person visits.
- Change in absenteeism for school or work for adult and child patients.
- Use of standard of care recommendations.
