Table 1.
The 5 scenarios (A-E) for VANS reliability testing.
Scenario | In-person examiner | In-person grader | Remote grader |
---|---|---|---|
A | MD#1 | MD#1 | |
B | MD#2 | MD#2 | |
C | MD#1 or MD#2 | TeleMD#3 or TeleMD#4 | |
D | TCT#1 | TeleMD#3 or TeleMD#4 | |
E | TCT#2 | TeleMD#3 or TeleMD#4 |
The table describes each scenario by listing the in-person examiner, the in-person grader (when applicable), and the remote grader (when applicable). In scenario A and B, participants are examined and graded by an in-person neurologist, similar to a typical face-to-face encounter. In scenario C, participants are examined by one of the in-person neurologists, but the grading is done by one of the remote tele-neurologists. In scenarios D and E, participants are examined in-person by a telehealth care technician (TCT), but the grading is done by one of the remote tele-neurologists. MD = neurologist; TeleMD = tele-neurologist; TCT = telehealth care technician.
