Modes of communication and the involvement of different care providers in 10 studies of telehealth interventions for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) care. Each bar represents a different type of health care provider, and the different colored areas on the bar represent the number of studies of telehealth interventions for ESRD care that used telephone (blue), video (red), or telemetry (green) as the mode of communication. Provider refers to the main provider delivering the care. The study evaluating the nephrologist-led intervention20 allowed for videoconferencing between the nephrologist based in an urban hospital and the patient and nurse at a remote satellite clinic. The nephrologist also had access to the patients’ electronic health records. Telemetry could involve electronic data transfer as the primary method of communication, with a telephone call added as required.
