Abstract
The critical shortage of health care providers has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic into a staffing crisis. In this setting, it became infeasible for our large tertiary academic hospital to consistently staff our emergency department observation unit with on-site providers. Telemedicine has been utilized and studied as a solution to this shortage in part because it enhances access to a larger staffing pool and allows for increased flexibility without geographic constraints. While telemedicine is well vetted across the continuum of health care, there is a paucity of data regarding the use of telemedicine in the observation medicine setting.
