Patient survey about telemedicine in your rheumatologic care during the COVID-19

[Chanpreet_Walia]

Please spare a few minutes to fill in a survey about your perspectives on the use of telemedicine in your rheumatologic care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The survey is aimed at adult patients with a rheumatic disease or the parents/caregivers of a child with a rheumatic disease.

Responses from this survey will help The COVID–19 Global Rheumatology Alliance further understand your needs and satisfaction with telemedicine and spur further research to improve the care they provide. Your responses to this survey will remain anonymous.

Hi Willow1414,

Telelmedicine is health-related services and information via electronic technology for example, telephone/video call appointments 😊

Hi Chanpreet, I’ve completed the survey but was a little disappointed re the telemedicine question as wanted to say I’ve never had a telemedicine appointment with my rheumatologist but my appointment has been delayed and for the first time will be via telemedicine. I have consulted a nurse on the Scleroderma help line though via telephone so perhaps I did it wrong!

Hi Halfwayuphill,

I believe you have filled it out correctly as advice via a helpline would not be included as a telemedicine appointment :).

I hope your first telemedicine appointment with your rheumatologist goes well.

Best wishes,

Chanpreet
