Reader script: “A regional hospital introduced video consultations for routine follow-up appointments. Patients living far away saved travel time, and missed appointments decreased. However, some people lacked suitable devices or needed physical examinations. The hospital will retain face-to-face appointments and offer technical support rather than replace all visits with video calls.” Model: A regional hospital’s video consultations reduced travel time for distant patients and helped lower missed appointments. However, some patients lacked suitable devices, while others required physical examinations. The hospital therefore plans to keep face-to-face appointments and provide technical support, using video follow-ups as an additional option rather than a complete replacement for in-person care.
