Outcomes between in-person, telehealth ID consults do not differ, study suggests
Healio reports on a Duke University study in Clinical Infectious Diseases of 3,223 patients at two North Carolina community hospitals from 2022 to 2025. Outcomes such as length of stay, 30-day readmission and death did not differ between in-person and telehealth infectious disease consults, though tele-ID patients received more imaging. The switch hospital later returned to in-person consults.
