To determine the patient and physician perspective of the same teleneurology visit

We studied patient and physician perspectives of shared teleneurology encounters in order to determine how to improve the virtual health experience.
After completion of a standard virtual health visit, physicians, who were also the researchers, asked patients to participate in a research survey via verbal consent.  The physicians who administered the survey then answered questions based on their personal experience of the visit. Physicians designated days in their schedules to ask each consecutive teleneurology patient to participate.

87.7% (157/179) consecutive patients and physicians responded to the survey.  60.5% of patients surveyed were women and 66% of visits were follow-up encounters. 96.2% of participants reported that the instructions provided to initiate the visit were very easy or somewhat easy to understand. 94.3% of patients felt that their virtual visit satisfied their needs and an in-person visit was not necessary.  93.6% of physicians felt they could complete an examination as part of the virtual health visit that provided enough information for medical decision-making.

Patients and physicians overwhelmingly found that quality care could be delivered via teleneurology for a variety of new and chronic neurologic problems. Patients rarely reported that they thought an in-person visit was necessary.
