Survey of Healthcare Providers Utilization and Perception of Telehealth On-Treatment Visits During COVID-19 Pandemic

Based on our results, telehealth was widely used during the beginning of the pandemic, but shifted to essentially zero by December 2020. The increase of in person visits by December appears to correlate with agreement to fully evaluate a patient, manage symptoms, and minimize acute care. However, as in person OTVs increased, there was more concern for COVID-19 prevention by providers. By implementing systems into our electronic medical record that can accurately predict patients that may imminently require acute intervention, we may strike a balance of providing the best care for our cancer patients and minimize exposure risk.
