Telehealth Clinical Guidelines for Virtual Management of Diseases

The primary purpose of this Telehealth Guideline is to provide the physicians who will be managing patients virtually, with a summary of the best available evidence for the virtual management of very common conditions among adults. These guidelines are presented in a format that comprises clinical history/symptoms, differential diagnosis, investigations and management. Identification of ‘red flags’ or serious conditions associated with the condition is an essential part of these guidelines as it helps the physician to manage patients safely and appropriately by referrals, if indicated during the virtual telehealth assessment, to ER, family physicians, or specialists for face-to-face assessment.
