Trends in direct healthcare utilization observed for persons with MS among teleneurology users and diverse populations
Teleneurology visits were associated with fewer orders, suggesting teleneurology may be incorporated into healthcare models without increasing utilization related to the visit. Teleneurology was also associated with increased visit volumes but no difference in emergency HCU. More studies are needed to clarify the ultimate impact of teleneurology on overall HCU. More emergency visits, regardless of visit type, were observed among at-risk populations, warranting further investigation.
