Telemedicine specifically addresses the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of patients (including history taking and appropriate physical examination) by means of electronic technology. In the midst of these major changes, clinicians are still responsible for ensuring patients receive the care they need, as well as understand the limitations of telemedicine visits. However, we feel strongly that complex medical problems involving major decision-making, such as in follow-up of organ transplant recipients who are manifesting symptoms suggestive of infection or rejection, require in-person patient evaluation. Health-care providers should be prepared to interrupt digital visits or arrange timely follow-up as necessary, so that any patient identified as requiring in-person evaluation will be appropriately directed to receive timely medical attention.	./cache/cord-307808-0t6sw0zp.txt	./txt/cord-307808-0t6sw0zp.txt
