Background:
Telemedicine is widely used in urology, but it has so far been insufficiently considered in clinical guidelines.
Methods:
A two-stage expert consensus was conducted in which urology experts evaluated statements in two rounds. Between rounds, discussions took place either virtually or in person. Statements with 75% agreement in the final round were considered to be accepted.
Results:
Fifteen experts participated in the first round of voting, achieving consensus on 20 out of 21 statements. After renewed discussion, 11 experts accepted 22 out of 23 statements.
Conclusion:
Telemedicine opens up new models of care in urology. Successful implementation requires adjustments in reimbursement and the training of all healthcare professionals.
