Abstract
This study examines the diagnostic accuracy and acceptability of telemedicine in the field of rheumatology. One hundred patients had a telephone and televisual consultation and the results were compared with a face-to-face consultation. While the telephone consultations were often unsatisfactory, the televisual consultations were highly accurate (97%) and acceptable to patients, general practitioners, and specialists.Entities:
