Sumario:The COVID-19 pandemic has meant a qualitative change in the way patients are treated in outpatient clinics. The need to take measures of social isolation as prevention for contagion by the new coronavirus has forced the use of telematic and telephone consultations in most medical and surgical units. The specialty of digestive medicine, due to the characteristics of its patients and frequent support in complementary techniques for diagnosis, is especially suitable for the use of non-contact consultations. In this document a series of recommendations are proposed that can serve as a guide for the establishment or improvement of non-face-to-face digestive medicine consultations.
