This video describes the Tele-Presence 5 practices. The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the traditional clinic visit for patients and health care providers around the world. Health care systems are rapidly scaling up telemedicine to reduce risk of infection and protect providers and patients. While these virtual interactions offer critical services, the technology can generate a barrier to the human connection that is central to clinical care.

The Stanford Presence Center, launched in 2015 by Dr Abraham Verghese, is dedicated to the art and science of human connection. A central mission is to foster research, dialogue, and multidisciplinary collaboration to champion the human experience in medicine, and to produce measurable and meaningful change in health care.

Earlier this year, the Presence 5 team published evidence-based practices to help clinicians foster humanism during clinical encounters. In response to the challenges imposed by COVID-19, the team has now adapted the original Presence 5 practices for telemedicine.
