BACKGROUND: An understanding of patient and clinician opinions about remote video musculoskeletal consultations might help determine how to increase appeal and utilization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate perceptions of remote video musculoskeletal consultations. Our research questions was what are patient and clinician facilitators and barriers for the use of remote video consultations? METHODS: Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic 27 English speaking adult patients seeking ambulatory care for a musculoskeletal problem, and 10 English-speaking musculoskeletal clinicians were interviewed using a guide. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded using applied thematic analysis. RESULTS: Patient and clinician incentives for remote video consultations included increased convenience, lower costs, less waiting time, and a better experience. Patient and clinician barriers to remote video consultations included concerns about familiarity with technology, lack of personal interaction and physical examination, inability to perform procedures, difficulties with reimbursement (clinicians), as well as technical, logistical, and privacy issues. CONCLUSION: This qualitative study performed prior to the pandemic found that adoption of remote video consultation for musculoskeletal problems may improve with seamless, efficient, and effective care, at an affordable price, particularly if the human connection is similar to what occurs in person.
