Book excerpt: The overall aim of this practical guidance is to facilitate greater use and consistency in the use of teleconsultations, whilst adhering to quality standards and recognizing that the set up and delivery of such services must be adapted to suit particular contexts, health needs and priorities. The specific objectives are to guide health care professional on how to plan, conduct and follow up a teleconsultation with children, adolescents and their families. The guidance is designed to be used by a wide range of HCPs (e.g., doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals) who work with infants, children and adolescents across a range of different settings (e.g., community, primary and tertiary care settings).The guidance is intended to be relevant in countries where teleconsultations are already widely used as well as in countries that are strengthening their teleconsultation systems. It is also hoped that the guidance will be of interest to practitioners working in developing health systems by signaling some of the opportunities and challenges of teleconsultations.
