description The use of telemedicine tools has increased significantly due to the COVID-19 emergency and practice restrictions imposed by states. As restrictions are loosened, telemedicine is a cost effective and efficient way to render care to patients.

By following these steps, professional liability risk (medical malpractice) can be mitigated.
