Role of Telemedicine in Management of Patients During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Telemedicine is applied in different medical conditions, such as acute emergencies, nonurgent assessments, and long-term treatment of ongoing neurological illnesses. A telemedicine interaction involves a remote provider and the cases and family at the originating site. For acute care and consultations, a telepresenter at the originating site improves the evaluations and approves results to the remote provider. The skill level of the telepresenter is different depending on the use and the desires of the remote provider. The limits of the evaluations conducted remotely using telemedicine have not been fully investigated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The skill set of the telemedicine must include the capacity to find when these limitations prevent optimal patient treatment and, in such cases, request an in-person assessment to more evaluate manifestations. Therefore, in this review, we aimed to investigate the role of telemedicine in management of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic
