Abstract:
Thirteen standardized reasons for e-visits were implemented in March 2024 on a French telemedicine platform to improve the analysis of needs in telemedicine, educate patients on what is possible in e-visit and adapt the offer. Patients could select 1 to 3 reasons for consultations among a list of 13 reasons. Our aim was to evaluate their impact on use of e-visits. The main reasons for consultations in teleconsultations were more linked to acute care, specifically involving a large majority of upper respiratory tract infections, back pain, and urinary tract infections. They were mostly concordant with the physician's conclusion and they may have simplified the preparation of the e-visits.
