Table 3.

PCP attitudes vary towards telemedicine.

PCP attitudes	Example quotes
Effects on doctor-patient relationship	Strengthens: “I have enjoyed seeing people through video when we were closed. The visits are more likely to start on time so I find them less stressful than in person visits. More relaxed. Also, I love to see patients in their homes.” (PCP92)	Weakens: “It is not good medicine. You can't take care of the whole patient without laying hands on them and listening to their heart etc.” (PCP102)
Impacts on quality	Improves: “It creates immediate access and sudden intimacy with our patients who cannot come into the office. By improving access, we improve health. It’s that simple.” (PCP127)	Reduces: “It cannot replace the in-office care in terms of quality and safety.” (PCP132)
Intentions on future use	Will continue: “Will continue to use, good for some types of visits and for the folks who have trouble getting to the office.” (PCP98)	Will not continue: “I hope to significantly reduce my telemedicine visits to everyone after the pandemic.” (PCP38)
