Telemedicine Means Less Wait Time to See a Gastroenterologist

The PACE Network recently published results about the impact of its telemedicine program, finding that implementing telemedicine services for people with IBD is highly feasible and can reduce the time patients have to wait to see a gastroenterologist. Telemedicine services lead to improved health outcomes for patients and save health care costs. 

This study was published in the Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology. You can read it here.
