Barriers, Facilitators, and Attitudes Toward Telemedicine Adoption in Oncology: A Qualitative Study of Patients From Low-Broadband Areas
Differential VTV adoption in low-BB settings reflected exposure, provider offering, and situational necessity rather than BB access alone. Oncology practices should consider normalizing the hybrid care model combining in-person and video appointment visits and provide tailored supports to advance equitable telemedicine. Expanding video care in oncology requires more than digital access and depends on patient experience, care context, and human connection inherent in oncology care.
