Wow! What a concept! I think it is a great idea because if you are contagious, you keep it at home. Here, with my provider, Kaiser, they utilize and encourage email-your-doctor and phone appointments. When I was in the hospital last time, they even had a pilot program of a remote specialist visit, using a mobile "robot" with a two-way video (like FaceTime).

I think that they are realizing that much of good diagnostics are based on a good history. Anybody can order the appropriate tests.
