Study findings can help clinicians focus on vulnerable patient populations who require access to specialty medical care.
New study findings identify vulnerable patient populations who may not engage with telehealth but still require medical care in the ever-changing healthcare delivery landscape.
The findings suggested age, sex, median household income, insurance status, and marital status were associated with patient participation in telehealth.
Ilaaf Darrat, M.D., M.B.A., and colleagues assessed demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with patient participation in telehealth during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. They included patients receiving care in the otolaryngology department within an urban tertiary care center from March 17 to May 1, 2020. Patients included were had scheduled encounters with otolaryngologists or advanced practice clinicians.
