I Mozes et al.

Summary: This study evaluated patients' preferences for telemedicine versus traditional in-clinic consultation during the COVID-19 pandemic using the discrete choice experiment (DCE). Eight attributes were identified, and the four most important attributes, including availability, time until the appointment, severity of the medical problem, patient-physician relationship, and flexible reception hours, were selected. This study contributes to understanding post-COVID-19 patient preferences in Hybrid Medicine patient care.

Spread, Scale-up, and Sustainability of Video Consulting in Health Care: Systematic Review and Synthesis Guided by the NASSS Framework

Hannah M. James et al.

Summary: COVID-19 has accelerated the use of video consulting in healthcare, but there is still a lack of evidence supporting the widespread adoption of video consultations. Key enablers of spread and scale-up include leadership, reimbursement mechanisms, user-friendly technology, staff relationships, and adaptation over time, while challenges include service development, resistance to change, and technical issues. More research and theorization are needed to support global efforts in expanding the use of video consultations.

Suitability of Video Consultations During the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown: Cross-sectional Survey Among Norwegian General Practitioners

Tor Magne Johnsen et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, Norwegian general practitioners experienced a sharp increase in the use of video consultations (VCs), with most GPs finding VCs suitable for assessing patient problems, especially in cases with relational continuity. VCs were found to be most suitable for issues like anxiety, depression, and complex problems requiring multiple follow-up consultations. The study suggests a clear future role for VCs in non-pandemic settings, with the continuity of care playing a significant role in GPs' perceptions of VC suitability.

Cajsa Bjorndell et al.

Summary: Physicians' experiences of video consultation with new patients at a publicly owned virtual primary care clinic varied from straightforward to deficient, depending on communication and patients' conditions. The flexibility and regulated assignment of online work were positive for physicians, but doubts were expressed about the healthcare and social benefits of this virtual care service. Video consultation was considered suitable for certain diagnoses and patients, but easy access to it posed challenges in terms of medical prioritization in healthcare.

Use of E-Health in Dutch General Practice during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Jelle Keuper et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on the use of e-health in general practices in the Netherlands, revealing an increased uptake of e-health applications during the pandemic. However, only a minority of practices intend to maintain this increased use, indicating a temporary uptake of digital healthcare delivery rather than accelerated implementation of digital processes. Additionally, small differences in the use of e-health between different practice types were found.

Tina Drud Due et al.

Summary: This study examined how GPs in Denmark reorganized their clinical work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
