Monkman H, Kuziemsky C, Homco J, et al. Identifying failure modes in telemedicine: an instructional needs assessment. Stud Health Technol Inform. 2023;304:39-43. doi:10.3233/shti230365.
Implementation challenges can hinder the safety of telehealth. In this study, medical students used Healthcare Failure Modes and Effect Analysis to identify the causes of failures in telehealth and potential prevention strategies. Four categories of failures were identified: technical issues, patient safety, communication, and social and structural determinants.
