Right before COVID-19 hit, I was at a meeting to discuss how we could better integrate telemedicine into our care. I have to admit — I was skeptical. I wondered how we could make it practical and relevant to our patients. And then COVID happened. We just had to do it. Telemedicine is now an incredibly valuable resource for my cancer patients, especially those from more distant locations. We want to eliminate as many barriers to their care as possible, like reducing how often patients need to travel to Pittsburgh. It’s true that some aspects of care need to be done in person. But telemedicine makes it easy to stay in touch with patients. We can review imaging studies, talk about care plans, and discuss other important topics.
