Abstract

During telehealth encounters, care partners may assist with physical maneuvers or examinations. These care partners may be friends or family members of the patient. There are unique ethical considerations in the use of care partners during telehealth examinations, yet there is limited guidance for such interactions. Evidence-based guidelines should be created to ensure the safety and quality of telehealth encounters when care partners are used.
