Telemedicine After Upper Extremity Surgery: A Prospective Study of Program Implementation	2020-07-18		.txt	text/plain	2971	175	45	We aimed to compare travel burden, visit time, and patient satisfaction between an initial postoperative telemedicine visit and a second conventional in-clinic visit. METHODS: Telemedicine guidelines established by our hospital system were used as inclusion criteria for this prospective study, which included patients indicated for surgery in the outpatient clinic during a 3-month period. CONCLUSIONS: A telemedicine program for postoperative care after hand and upper extremity surgery decreases travel burdens associated with conventional in-clinic appointments. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Telemedicine after hand and upper extremity surgery results in high levels of patient satisfaction and decreases visit times and the travel burdens associated with conventional in-clinic appointments. We aimed to compare travel burden, visit time, patient satisfaction, and ease of use between an initial postoperative telemedicine visit and the second conventional inclinic visit. A telemedicine program for postoperative care after hand and upper extremity surgery decreases travel burdens associated with conventional in-clinic appointments.	./cache/cord-257229-5ml5ceu0.txt	./txt/cord-257229-5ml5ceu0.txt
