New Normal for Medical Practice Post COVID-19? 2020-10-01 .txt text/plain 440 32 50 Already an accepted mode of health care delivery in the United States, there is convincing evidence that telehealth is efficient, effective, and beneficial for specific uses and patient populations. A substantial population of women with symptoms of vaginitis make up to 10 million outpatient visits per year 2 with associated costs approaching $1.3 billion. 3 The current standard of care calls for a visual examination of external and internal structures as well as vaginal secretions, a ''whiff test'' to detect distinctive odors associated with specific infections, and on-site pH and wet mount diagnostic tests. To me, the implications are clear: it is time to reconsider how best to approach care for this patient population under ''the new normal'' conditions. There is an obvious synergy between telehealth visits and state-of-the-art molecular technology that can be leveraged to improve the efficiency and accuracy of care we provide to women with vaginitis. ./cache/cord-314085-y59a27oy.txt ./txt/cord-314085-y59a27oy.txt
