Access to Primary Care Telemedicine and Visit Characterization in a Pediatric, Low-Income, Primarily Latino Population: Retrospective Study
The high engagement across demographics suggests feasibility and interest in telemedicine in this low-income, primarily Latino population, which may be attributable to the strength of outreach. Language-based disparities were still present. Telemedicine was used for a wide range of diagnoses. As telemedicine remains a vital component of pediatric health care, targeted interventions may enhance engagement to serve diverse pediatric patient populations.
