The use of telemedicine tools has increased significantly due to the COVID-19 emergency and practice restrictions imposed by states. As restrictions are loosened, telemedicine is a cost effective and efficient way to render care to patients. Suggestions are offered for maintaining contact with patients, managing their expectations for care, and rendering care in a prudent and timely manner. By following these steps, professional liability risk (medical malpractice) can be mitigated.
