Within weeks, COVID-19 has transformed our practice of palliative care and
clinical medicine as we know it. Telemedicine has emerged as a critical
technology to bring medical care to patients while attempting to reduce the
transmission of COVID-19 among patients, families, and clinicians. It is also
increasingly necessary to preserve scarce resources like personal protective
equipment. In this article, we share just-in-time tips to support palliative care
clinicians and program leaders in providing the best care possible by
telemedicine. These quick, practical tips cover telemedicine setup, patient
considerations, and clinician considerations. Next steps include ensuring
equitable access to affordable telemedicine technology for vulnerable populations
through creative solutions and financing, and dedicated attention to telemedicine
evaluation and quality improvement.
