Variability in Primary Care Telehealth Delivery Methods Across Chronic Conditions
The findings of this cross-sectional study suggest an individual's chronic condition may be associated with whether they received care in person or through telehealth. The need for a physical examination, laboratory, or other diagnostic information, and the acuity of the condition may be potential drivers of this differential use. The percentage of care delivered via telephone or video may be a valuable measure to identify the optimal mix of telehealth and in-person care for various clinical scenarios.
