Background Telehealth has been widely accepted and investigated however little is known about virtual physical examination (VPE) in primary care settings. In order to understand improve patient clinician experience during VPE, we need analyse the in-person general practitioner (GP) consultations. Objective We aim characteristics of (PE) GP consultations including topics consultations, types examinations, equipment used body area examined. then evaluate how translatable these PE are over telehealth. Methods Eligible were extracted from a dataset archive named HaRI, which contains 281 de-identified transcript video format. processed with data extracted. Finally, an evidence-based scoring system was on each PE, determining its likelihood being translated Results analysed 169 79% (133 out 169) required (PE). A total 307 224 counts 331 parts observed. Out 52 components have observed, but only 8% deemed easily 21% examinations considered ‘untranslatable telehealth’. Conclusion Over half (54%) at least moderately translatable, especially for vital signs, musculoskeletal, neurological cardiovascular exams. However, more research warranted increase accuracy, reliability translatability when VPE not feasible, safety netting should be applied.
