Compare scheduled telehealth visits with asynchronous intake models.
Scheduled video visit
Allows real-time discussion and may be better for complex history, questions, or pharmacy flexibility. It requires an appointment and a private place to talk.
Asynchronous questionnaire
Can be faster and more private in the moment. It depends on complete written disclosure and may lead to follow-up questions.
Neither guarantees treatment
The clinician must be able to decline or redirect care when online prescribing is not appropriate.
