Telemedicine in Otolaryngology in the COVID‐19 Era: Initial Lessons Learned	2020-08-02		.txt	text/plain	3255	161	48	CONCLUSIONS: We describe our initial experience with a transition to Telemedicine, where the majority of patients would decline a virtual visit due to the lack of a physical exam. In our study population, the majority of patients declined a Telemedicine visit due to the lack of a physical exam (97%) with only 1% citing technical difficulties as their reason for declining. Herein we report our initial experience with an abrupt transition to Telemedicine, where we found that the majority of our otolaryngology patients would decline a virtual visit. The lack of a physical exam was the main driving force behind patients declining virtual care, suggesting that we have grown past the early technologic and cost barriers to Telemedicine. E) Distribution of subspecialties visits which were contacted for rescheduling with the majority in laryngology (162, 31%), followed by otology (161, 31%), rhinology (121, 23%), facial plastics (43, 8%), and finally head and neck oncology (38,7%) Figure 2 ) Comparison between those electing and declining Telemedicine visits.	./cache/cord-337338-7uj2r0gy.txt	./txt/cord-337338-7uj2r0gy.txt
