description Objective: To assess the quality of care of telemedicine consultation during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center in 2022 Methods: Design: Cross-Sectional Study Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital Participants: 210 patients Results: Majority of the respondents were female, less than 40 years of age, unemployed, consulted for the first time, lived < 25km distance from the hospital, consulted because of an ear problem, consulted without symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 and had higher outcomes of face-to-face consultation. The overall satisfaction with teleconsultation was good with majority of patients satisfied and very satisfied with teleconsultation (4.29±1.083). Occupational status, technical problems encountered in the teleconsultation, and those who were bothered by the absence of clinical examination were associated with the perceived quality of care of the ENT teleconsultation (p < .05). Among the population who were satisfied to ENT teleconsultation, 82 (43%) were from the working population (OR 2.2 [1.1-4.7]), 158 (95%) were satisfied with quality of response (OR 23.7 [9.4-59.8]) and 154 (93%) were satisfied with image quality (OR 16.9 [7.3-39.0]). Conclusion: Teleconsultation for ENT has proven useful in terms of satisfying the urgent concerns of patients in a pandemic setting.
