*sorry - hit enter in my keyboard* … or who need further examination or diagnostics before receiving a POM-V? I like the paper, and I support telemedicine becoming part of an expanded set of business models. However, it’s odd to divorce a telemedicine practice from such a large number of its patients’ outcomes simply because the prescription happened elsewhere.

An interesting paper. The conclusion seems to be that the business model leads to low rates of POM-V prescribing and of antimicrobial prescribing in particular. However, they don’t interrogate animals referred to a brick-and-mortar clinic.How many of these are referred because they are likely to need a POM-V medication that can’t be prescribed quickly enough or
