Brief Summary

The aim of the current study is to compare virtual clinic visits (i.e., real-time, face-to-face visits conducted over the internet with tablet devices) to actual physical clinic visits. After both types of visits (virtual versus physical) physicians will be asked to classify patients into low, moderate or high risk for a vascular intervention. It is hypothesized that there will be good agreement between classifications made after the virtual visits as compared to those made after physical visits. That is, virtual visit classifications will be as good as those made after physical visits.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Categorization of physician treatment plans. (Physicians will classify treatment plans as low, moderate or high need for vascular intervention)

  Comparison of virtual visit treatment plans to physical treatment plans. After assessments, physicians will classify patients' treatment plans into low (treat medically), moderate (vascular intervention in the future, but not immediately) or high (needs immediately, within 2 weeks). The distribution of low, moderate and high among the two types of visits (Virtual and Physical) will be compared.
