Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has grossly impacted how we deliver healthcare and how healthcare institutions derive value from the care provided. at increased infectious risk on immunosuppressive therapies and often have mobility limitations. Adapting to new technologies and reimbursement patterns were challenges that had to be met by the institutions while patients struggled with decisions to prioritize concerns and to identify new pathways to care. With the implementation of social distancing practices, telemedicine plays an increasing role in patient care delivery, particularly in the field of Neurology. This is of particular concern in our cancer patient population given that these patients are often at increased infectious risk on immunosuppressive therapies and often have mobility limitations. We reviewed telemedicine practices in neurology pre-/post-COVID-19 and evaluated the neuro-oncology clinical practice approaches of two large care systems, Barrow Neurological Institute and Geisinger Health. Practice metrics were collected for impact on clinic volumes, institutional recovery techniques, and task force development to address COVID-19 specific issues. Neuro-Oncology divisions reached &amp;gt;67% of pre-pandemic capacity (patient visits and slot utilization) within 3-weeks and returned to &amp;gt;90% capacity within 6-weeks of initial closures due to COVID-19. The two health systems rapidly and effectively implemented telehealth practices to recover patient volumes. While telemedicine will not replace the in-person clinical visit, telemedicine will likely continue to be an integral part of neuro-oncologic care. Telemedicine has potential for expanding access in remote areas and provides a convenient alternative to patients with limited mobility, transportation, or other socioeconomic complexities that otherwise challenge patient visit adherence.
