Telemedicine: Past, present, and future
Abstract
Telemedicine has the potential to transform the future of medicine in both rural and urban settings by improving access to medical care and providing a more affordable way to deliver it. Low reimbursement rates and lack of interstate licensing are the main obstacles limiting its widespread use in the United States. Demand for telemedicine, however, will likely continue to rise, and primary care providers will need to be familiar with the practical and legal considerations in establishing this type of service.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
