BOX 2. Keys Points for Successful Use of Telemedicine Technology When Performing Remote Wound Consultations.

Anticipate nursing staff and patients' needs—communication barriers, available access to technology. Call the bedside nurse and agree on a mutually acceptable time for the remote wound consultation to take place; make sure they are available during the consultation to obtain measurements and answer any additional assessment questions. Determine best coverage options and workflow; maintain open communication with WOC team members via online meetings or text messages. Be creative and flexible with both technology and nurses' assessments in order to obtain the required information necessary to perform the consult and order appropriate topical treatment. Celebrate successes; share with peers and leadership teams.
