Abstract
The widespread use of telemedicine was implemented rapidly and with almost non-existent pre-planning or preparation. Nationwide and internationally, the transition to telehealth was both spontaneous and dramatic. For most providers, this rapid shift to telehealth happened due to necessity of circumstance, not as a choice to embrace new technology. Fortunately, many providers found the experience better than expected and a viable alternative to in-person treatment. Patients have generally been satisfied and found the telehealth platform convenient and effective at protecting against infection while allowing access to needed services.
