A practical guideline for practitioners on how to welcome patients to virtual consulting.

That Telehealth is the way of the modern world, is not in dispute. Over the past few weeks, we have had numerous interactions with practitioners who are embracing Telehealth and making a difference, not only in their own practices, but in the lives and health of their patients.
