The Effect of Telemedicine on Preventive Medicine– A Case from Israel
Although PCPs referred their patients to screening tests in remote visits, the performance rate of individuals who mainly used telemedicine was lower than those who mostly had face-to-face visits. A referral for a screening test from the PCP increased the odds of performing it. Understanding individuals' health behaviors using telemedicine is crucial to maintaining adherence to preventing medicine.
