Patient characteristics associated with the successful transition to virtual care: Lessons learned from the first million patients

Kori S. Zachrison et al.

Summary: The increased use of telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted disparities in access to care. Older patients, English-proficient individuals, and those with activated patient portal were more likely to participate in virtual care. Patient characteristics associated with virtual participation included only behavioural health visits, COVID patients, highest quartile of visit frequency, and multiple visit types. Video participation was more common among younger patients, those with only behavioural health visits, highest quartile of visit frequency, non-Hispanic black race,limited English proficiency, and inactivated portal account.

A multi-stakeholder approach is needed to reduce the digital divide and encourage equitable access to telehealth

Victor M. Gallegos-Rejas et al.

Summary: Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, there has been a significant increase in the use of telehealth worldwide. However, certain populations, such as those living in lower socioeconomic areas, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, people with disabilities, and those with low health literacy, are less likely to access telehealth services. This article proposes practical steps to reduce the digital divide and improve equitable access to telehealth, including improving digital health literacy, training healthcare workers in telehealth, co-designing new models of telehealth-enabled care, advocating for culturally appropriate services, and establishing sustainable funding models.

The Relationship Between Broadband Speeds, Device Type, Demographic Characteristics, and Care-Seeking Via Telehealth

Lauren Broffman et al.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between individual and environmental factors, broadband access, device type, and telehealth utilization. The findings suggest that living in areas with higher rates of broadband adoption decreases the likelihood of accessing virtual care using a smartphone. Age and belonging to historically marginalized communities also influence the likelihood of using a smartphone for accessing telehealth.

Towards digital health equity-a qualitative study of the challenges experienced by vulnerable groups in using digital health services in the COVID-19 era

Anu-Marja Kaihlanen et al.

Summary: This study examines the challenges faced by vulnerable groups in using digital health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings reveal that insufficient digital and/or local language skills, lack of support and training, poor health, and inadequate devices hinder access to digital health services for many participants. Additionally, digital services are not perceived as applicable for all situations and are considered less personal and more prone to misunderstandings compared to face-to-face services. Concerns and lack of trust regarding digital platforms, as well as unawareness of existing digital services, also limit the use of digital health services.

Public Libraries as Partners in Telemedicine Delivery: A Review and Research Agenda

Pamela B. DeGuzman et al.

Summary: In the U.S., the lack of broadband internet access hampers people's ability to have telemedicine video visits. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inequities in accessing telemedicine services, particularly in rural areas with limited broadband access. Public libraries, which are trusted sources of health information and offer free internet access, can be utilized to bridge the digital health divide and facilitate telemedicine visits. However, there is a lack of guidelines for implementing this collaboration between care providers and libraries. Urgent research is needed to evaluate the use of libraries as hubs for telemedicine visits in broadband-poor communities.

Felicity Knights et al.

Summary: This study revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities in access to healthcare for many migrants, mainly due to digitalization and virtual consultations. In-depth, semi-structured interviews highlighted the diverse beliefs among migrants regarding COVID-19 and potential vaccines, often influenced by misinformation. Innovative solutions, such as translated digital health advice using text templates and YouTube, were suggested for further exploration to address these challenges.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increase in telemedicine usage, but divergent patterns emerged for video and audio-only telephone visits. Older, low-income, minority, and non-English speaking Medicaid patients are at highest risk of facing technology access and digital literacy barriers. Patients believe that addressing the digital divide is a shared responsibility among individuals, government, libraries, schools, healthcare organizations, and private businesses.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of telehealth have potentially worsened disparities in ambulatory care access due to various institutional and structural barriers. A study conducted at Oregon Health & Science University showed significant increases in video and telephone utilization among ambulatory patients, with certain demographic groups being less likely to use video care modalities. This disparity highlights the need for organizations to monitor telehealth utilization and address potential biases to prevent exacerbating inequities.
