Telehealth vs face‐to‐face consultations in a urological oncology clinic: a randomised controlled trial

Our study demonstrates that patients with urological oncological diseases attending routine follow-up generally prefer telehealth over F2F appointments. However, patients in the F2F group perceived that there was a higher quality of care in their consultation, and that the services provided were superior, in comparison to patients in the telehealth group. These are barriers to the widespread adoption of telehealth in urological oncology follow-up care and are rarely reported in the current literature.

Abstract

Our study demonstrates that patients with urological oncological diseases attending routine follow-up generally prefer telehealth over F2F appointments. However, patients in the F2F group perceived that there was a higher quality of care in their consultation, and that the services provided were superior, in comparison to patients in the telehealth group. These are barriers to the widespread adoption of telehealth in urological oncology follow-up care and are rarely reported in the current literature.
