Hybrid Telemedicine and In‐Person Care for Kidney Transplant Follow‐Up: A Qualitative Study
Integrating telemedicine with in-person visits enhances post-transplant follow-up care. A hybrid model should leverage the strengths of both modalities, ensuring patient access to care and being patient-centered and flexible. Efforts are needed to advance technological tools in physical examination and human connection, and assess patient outcomes. Policymakers and healthcare systems need to incentivize the adoption and expansion of telemedicine in transplant care.
