Description
Bob Weng and co-authors published this 2024 narrative review on what telemedicine is doing to academic medical centers. The team searched four databases for twenty years of work, found twelve articles, and read them for where remote care earns its place in teaching hospitals. The consensus they report is broad.
Across elective, outpatient, inpatient, and urgent care, including emergencies, the studies find remote care a useful add-on rather than a stand-in. The gains are largest where distance bites: rural and hard-to-reach patients reach experts they might wait months for, or never see. The authors argue such centers, with the referrals they draw, are natural hubs for these networks. Their bottom line is hope with a condition: used the right way, remote care extends a center's reach without hollowing out its care.
