Abstract
Defining Telemedicine and Engaging Future Medical Practitioners. Comment on "Telemedicine in Germany During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Multi-Professional National Survey".
Highlights
We read with interest the recently published paper by Peine et al [1] on the views of health professionals on telemedicine
We ask the authors of the study to clarify what they meant by telemedicine and if this term was defined for all study participants
The use of telemedicine extends beyond its role as a communication medium; it can be a resource for both health care professionals and patients, an instrument for diagnosis and screening, or a device to globalize medicine
Summary
We read with interest the recently published paper by Peine et al [1] on the views of health professionals on telemedicine. By surveying health professionals from across a variety of clinical settings and demographics, interesting results were obtained illustrating high levels of acceptance of telemedicine among health professionals in Germany. Acquiring an accurate view of telemedicine has never been more important than during the COVID-19 pandemic, where the usage of telemedicine to communicate safely with patients has increased dramatically.
