43:T4fb,Previous Doctor Informed episodes have discussed how to prevent patient safety issues from occurring, but sometimes situations are beyond anyone's control - like COVID. It can be hard to look back, especially if difficult decisions and compromises were made, including ones we did not completely agree with, or if there could be criticism of the way we responded. We ask how individual doctors, teams, and organisations could respond to and recover from major problems? In this episode, we're joined by Annelieke Driessen, a THIS Institute fellow and medical anthropologist. She is a research fellow at the University of Oxford and honorary assistant professor in medical anthropology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who has spent hours listening to and understanding patient experiences of ICU during the pandemic. We'll also hear from Dominque Allwood, Chief Medical Officer at UCL Partners, and Director of Population Health at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, who focuses on creating positive change in healthcare.

The research Annelieke Driessen discussed, and the full versions of the patient interviews that are included in the podcast are available at https://healthtalk.org/Experiences-of-Covid-19-and-Intensive-Care/overview

What are some of the challenges and barriers of telemedicine? What types of visits are most amendable to the telehealth format? What about efforts to replicate a physical exam virtually? What are the challenges of administering telemedicine across state lines? Will telemedicine continue to have a prominent role in practice after the pandemic?
