Abstract
- Since February 24, 2020, non-face-to-face treatment has been temporarily allowed in Korea to protect patients and medical staff from COVID-19, and it has continued to be conducted until now. And on May 3, 2022, the Presidential Transition Committee announced the ‘National Tasks’ to be focused on, including the institutionalization of non-face-to-face treatment centered on primary medical care. Concerns about non-face-to-face treatment in the medical community are increasing, but non-face-to-face treatment is currently being conducted without any restrictions. In this article, I would like to propose essential conditions for the safety of patients so that non-face-to-face treatment can be performed as a complementary means of face-to-face treatment.
