OTHER

Face-to-face appointment

Participants will be scheduled with face-to-face appointments as usual (control arm). All phone calls (except reminders for scheduled visits) performed by the physician during the study will be recorded. Per protocol, participants allocated in the control arm can receive up to 25% of physician-doctor interactions by phone (that is, one phone call allowed for three face-to-face appointments).

OTHER

Remote consultation (telephone or video consultation mode)

"Patients will be seen through one of the two remote consultation modalities: video consultation or telephone. Patients will receive a reminder by text or call before the appointment.~In the case of telephone consultation, patients will be informed of the date and time slot in which they must wait for the doctor's call. At the time of the appointment, the doctor will call the contact phone number of the patients and/or their family members, starting with the first contact number that appears in the patient's medical history, and using the rest of the contacts available if there is no response. .~In the case of video consultation, at the time of the appointment, patients will receive a link to the application that manages the teleconsultation. Once in the application, they will remain in the virtual waiting room until the doctor switches to the videoconference."
