Telehealth is an essential facet of care delivery for patients with rheumatic diseases. The Association of American Medical College's (AAMC) Telehealth Competencies (TCs) define the skills required for delivering general telehealth care across the range of clinician experience. The American College of Rheumatology's (ACR) TCs Working Group adapted the AAMC TCs to rheumatology, outlining the skills acquisition unique to rheumatology with a focus on knowledge, skills and behaviors expected of recent rheumatology fellowship graduates.Through a collaborative process, the Working Group adapted the AAMC TCs to the training structure and practice of rheumatology. The Rheumatology TCs underwent peer review among recipients of the Clinician Scholar Educator Award and attendees at the ACR 2021 Convergence Conference.The Rheumatology TCs define 24 essential skills required for synchronous telehealth care of patients with rheumatic diseases. The Working Group adapted the AAMC's 20 TCs organized within six domains, added two skills to the AAMC's domains of Patient safety and appropriate use and Data collection and assessment, and created a novel domain of Systems-based requirements with two competencies. The Rheumatology TCs define expected skill levels for recent rheumatology fellowship graduates and experienced rheumatology clinicians.The Rheumatology TCs represent the first adaptation of the AAMC TCs to subspecialty care, expanding the scope to include rheumatology fellowship graduates and additional domains of rheumatology practice. These competencies can guide curricular innovations and measurements of proficiency in telehealth care delivery among rheumatology trainees and experienced clinicians, enhancing the care provided to patients with rheumatic diseases. |
