AGENDA
Welcome and Introduction
Telemedicine in the Allergy/Immunology Practice
Guidance for Implementing Telemedicine for Patients with Asthma
Asthma Telemedicine: Navigating
the Legal and Regulatory Issues
Q&A Session
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Telemedicine
is becoming an increasingly common component of healthcare, driven by patient
demand and vast improvements in technology. While the integration of
telemedicine into daily practice in asthma management has been studied and
implemented to a limited extent in over the last decade, many allergist and
immunologists have had the need for telemedicine thrust upon them very
suddenly. Thus, they lack
familiarity with the benefits of telemedicine and are likely uncertain on how
best to manage patient care in this virtual setting. Hence, these clinicians
will require education on best practices for incorporating telemedicine in the
asthma and allergist clinic, including different strategies for virtual
healthcare visits and remote patient monitoring, how to manage treatment in the
telemedicine setting, and how to navigate the complex and continuously evolving
legal and regulatory landscape pertaining to telehealthcare.
This program will provide clinicians with the most up-to-date information on
telemedicine in asthma care to promote easier transitions to this new and
necessary form of care for their patients.
