Figure 1. Graphical Representation of Calculation of Estimated Indirect Total Cost Savings Due to Telehealth.

Potential time savings was defined as roundtrip time savings arising from the use of telehealth, calculated as the difference between the time required to travel from the patient’s home address to in-person consultation at the Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) plus the in-person consultation time vs the time required to attend a telehealth visit from home (ie, time savings = roundtrip drive time + [time for in-person consultation − time for telehealth visit]). Potential travel savings was defined as roundtrip distance savings arising from the use of telemedicine, calculated as the distance the patient would have traveled for an in-person consultation at the MCC.
