Telemedicine for #COVIDー19 won’t be effective unless @realDonaldTrump issues an Executive Order allowing doctors to practice outside their licensed state (or country?) for this purpose. Need that TODAY to prepare. @mattgaetz @aoc @GOPLeader @MarkMeadows @SpeakerPelosi

Strongly agree, if I was allowed to practice telemedicine across state lines, this would be such a massive force multiplier, significant help to what will quickly become an overburdened medical system

The regulations are held at the state level, the state's governor can issue an executive order to suspend licensing regulations allowing for license reciprocity. Below is the reciprocity list back in 2008pic.twitter.com/DVplU7Ep1X

We had that problem after Hurricane Katrina on the animal rescue side. Louisiana State Veterinarian stopped Vets coming from other states w/o Louisiana licenses, in order to "give business to local Vets." However, offices of local Vets were destroyed & had no capacity.

"This single picture explains the concept of *flattening the epidemic curve* to non-specialists without requiring any additional text....you can see that even if you don't reduce total cases, slowing down the rate of an epidemic can be critical"

Large companies like Teladoc and AmWell are well staffed with physicians having licenses across all states. Not sure this will be a huge issue. These companies have dealt with severe flu A/B seasons before, which is somewhat similar.
