Virtual On Treatment Visits: Implementation, Patient Perspectives, Barriers, Limitations, Benefits and Opportunities.	2020-10-16		.txt	text/plain	4337	241	52	PURPOSE: To report our initial experience with weekly tele-video "virtual" on treatment visits (vOTVs), describe the logistics of implementation, report results of patient and physician surveys, and discuss barriers, limitations, and benefits of vOTVs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Physicians participating in the vOTVs felt very comfortable in their ability to manage patients though this platform (5.0), and on average did not report any difference in terms of efficiency of visits (3.0). Our experience suggests that vOTVs can be implemented rapidly using available technology, and with a high degree of patient and physician satisfaction during this pandemic with similar efficiency to in person OTVs. COVID-19 can cause serious illness or death, particularly in high risk groups. In an effort to further minimize patient, and staff risk of COVID-19 exposure, the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) lobbied for coverage of virtual on treatment visits (vOTVs).	./cache/cord-300344-57vxlctl.txt	./txt/cord-300344-57vxlctl.txt
