Dr. Rimsza hopes the AAP’s policy statement helps to increase knowledge about telemedicine, possible usages for pediatricians, and challenges faced by physicians who use the technology.
“We hope that it will raise awareness about some of the barriers to telemedicine and the importance of how the care is delivered, within the medical home, especially,” she said. “We plan to use the policy statement as various legislation is presented both at the national and local levels.”
