Telehealth for the Initial Evaluation of Musculoskeletal Disorders: Qualitative Study of Patients, Health Care Providers, and Key Stakeholders in the Province of Quebec in Canada

Telehealth is seen as a valuable solution to improve access to care for patients with MSKDs, especially for simpler cases or urgent needs. However, remote physical examination poses challenges associated with concerns about diagnostic accuracy and limited remote physical examination procedures and components. Effective implementation will likely require more evidence-based guidelines, provider training on remote techniques and strategies to maintain patient-provider relationships. Addressing access to technology, digital literacy, and privacy concerns is also essential to ensure equitable adoption and to optimize telehealth in musculoskeletal care.

Abstract

Telehealth is seen as a valuable solution to improve access to care for patients with MSKDs, especially for simpler cases or urgent needs. However, remote physical examination poses challenges associated with concerns about diagnostic accuracy and limited remote physical examination procedures and components. Effective implementation will likely require more evidence-based guidelines, provider training on remote techniques and strategies to maintain patient-provider relationships. Addressing access to technology, digital literacy, and privacy concerns is also essential to ensure equitable adoption and to optimize telehealth in musculoskeletal care.
