The concept of telemedicine (including telehealth and teletherapy) is not new—in fact, the first mention of using a telephone as a means for a doctor and patient to connect and avoid an unnecessary visit to the doctor’s office was in the British medical journal Lancet in 1879. Telemedicine had rapid adoption with lasting impact. It wasn’t until 2020 that providers were forced to adopt telemedicine as a regular part of their practice. As COVID-19 shut down clinics and made doctor’s offices a potentially risky place for patients to visit, telemedicine offered an opportunity for remote care.
