Sumario:Despite the many barriers to receiving care, children with asthma must have access to regular care and frequent follow-up visits. The usual barriers to the provision of asthma care have been made even more complicated by the current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. To minimize the disruption of care due to the necessary constraints dictated by coronavirus disease 2019, the televisit provides a practical solution that can assess the child’s current level of symptom control, reinforce asthma education, and determine treatment options. This article provides the tools and guidelines to facilitate the implementation of successful televisits to provide uninterrupted care for children with asthma.
