Telemedicine assumed an important role during the pandemic and its increased utilization will continue. Telemedicine worked best when it was integrated through patient portals and with the electronic medical record (EMR). Specialty services employed electronic consultations (E-consults) and telemedicine provided a venue for sharing consultations and critical care across state and regional boundaries. Telemedicine in mental health has been widely utilized and likely to persist at high levels in the future. Telemedicine allows greater access and convenience for patients and more flexibility for providers but equity for patients and providers needs to be addressed. Adequate reimbursement for telemedicine is essential to its future role in healthcare delivery.
