They will integrate the transmission and receipt of information for effective transfer of knowledge, professionalism, and understanding within a therapeutic relationship. |
| 4 | Data collection and evaluation via telemedicine | Clinicians will obtain and record clinical information through telemedicine tools, ensuring high-quality health care. |
| 5 | Technology for telemedicine | Clinicians will have the basic knowledge of the technology required to provide high-quality telemedicine care. |
| 6 | Ethical practices and legal requirements for telemedicine | Clinicians will understand the requirements to meet the minimum standards for providing telemedicine at the federal, state, and local levels. They will maintain patient privacy, minimize risks, prioritize the patient’s interest, and emphasize the patient-physician relationship. |
