Use of Telehealth for Follow-up Care After Children’s Mental Health Hospitalizations
Follow-up after a mental health hospitalization, an important quality measure for mental health care, was unchanged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Telehealth was not used prior to the COVID-19 pandemic but may have helped maintain follow-up care rates. Disparities in receipt of follow-up care were observed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and persisted despite telehealth options.
