Dr. Young-Rock Hong talks with Medscape about findings from his recent study.

A University of Florida study finds that people with diabetes who participate in telehealth doctor visits report the same level of quality of care, trust in the health care system, and patient-centered communication as patients who receive care through in-person visits.
