Abstract
Telehealth modalities have given patients options for delivery of care, and in some cases increased access to care. However, great effort needs to be made by providers and clinic staff to ensure patients are given choice in their delivery of care methods and technological support to work toward equity in care. We propose applying the BEACH model for shared decision-making to help providers support patients in choosing the best care delivery method, while also encouraging providers to seek further education on telehealth competencies. Lastly, we stress the importance of the clinical staff in ensuring patient autonomy, education, and support when choosing telehealth modalities of care.
