Frequency and Predictors of Virtual Visits in Patients With Heart Failure Within a Large Health System: Retrospective Cohort Study

Only a minority of patients with HFrEF were seen via virtual visits. Patients who regularly used digital technology were more likely to have virtual visits. Patients were more likely to be seen in a cardiology clinic than by a primary care provider. Although there was no evidence of an association between social determinants of health factors like race, ethnicity, or rurality with digital divide indicators, these findings should be interpreted with caution given the limitations of these data. Future studies should aim to replicate the findings of this study and explore ways to enhance the effective and equitable use of virtual visits.

Abstract

Only a minority of patients with HFrEF were seen via virtual visits. Patients who regularly used digital technology were more likely to have virtual visits. Patients were more likely to be seen in a cardiology clinic than by a primary care provider. Although there was no evidence of an association between social determinants of health factors like race, ethnicity, or rurality with digital divide indicators, these findings should be interpreted with caution given the limitations of these data. Future studies should aim to replicate the findings of this study and explore ways to enhance the effective and equitable use of virtual visits.
