A correctional facility uses telehealth to bring specialists into the prison without transporting inmates. Which model does this represent?
Answer: Correctional hub-and-spoke synchronous telehealth
Correctional telehealth typically uses a hub-and-spoke synchronous model, with the prison as the originating site and the specialist facility as the hub.
Which telehealth model best supports longitudinal chronic disease management between scheduled office visits?
Answer: Remote patient monitoring
Remote patient monitoring continuously tracks physiological parameters between visits, enabling proactive management of chronic conditions.
A primary care provider sends a patient's dermatology photos and notes to a dermatologist who responds within 72 hours. This is an example of:
Answer: eConsult (provider-to-provider asynchronous consultation)
An eConsult is a provider-to-provider asynchronous exchange where a specialist reviews case information and responds without seeing the patient directly in real time.
Telehealth program designers choosing between synchronous and asynchronous models should FIRST consider:
Answer: The clinical urgency and nature of the patient encounter
Clinical urgency and encounter type determine whether real-time interaction or delayed review is appropriate for safe, effective care.
Which scenario best illustrates the 'hybrid' telehealth delivery model?
Answer: A patient alternates between in-person exams and remote video follow-ups within the same care plan
A hybrid model combines in-person and telehealth encounters within a coordinated care plan, leveraging each modality's strengths.
Telepharmacy programs that allow pharmacists to verify prescriptions at remote rural kiosks primarily rely on:
Answer: Synchronous video with robotic dispensing systems
Telepharmacy kiosks use synchronous video to allow licensed pharmacists to counsel patients and oversee automated or technician-assisted dispensing in real time.
Which telehealth delivery model is typically used in telepsychiatry for court-ordered competency evaluations?
Answer: Synchronous video evaluation with clinician and legal observer present
Court-ordered competency evaluations require real-time synchronous video to allow direct interaction, observation, and documentation acceptable to the legal system.
