Telehealth in Clinical Research
Going into the future of clinical research, a blended approach of both in-person and telehealth patient interaction must be considered. Some of the telehealth approaches moving forward could be connecting to patients via virtual outreach (videos explaining procedures, etc.), collecting remote informed consent, and telephone or video-based intervention. The most important thing to consider after the pandemic, is the implementation of HIPAA in various telehealth practices as patient privacy must be considered above all else. Of course, not all practices can be achieved through telehealth, like biospecimen collection, but a blended approach would go a long way for the future of clinical research.
