Description

Kristin Pullyblank and five co-authors unpack what access to telehealth really means in a 2023 study. Video care boomed in the pandemic, then its uneven reach showed. Access is more than a wire: a patient must find the service approachable, acceptable, available, affordable, and fitting.

Five hundred patients of a rural health network were sampled for a survey, and insiders were interviewed across two years. Willingness to use telehealth turned on all five dimensions, and on what clinicians believed and what system policies allowed. The authors urge planners to fix access as a chain, since a single broken link, say a confusing portal, strands the patient.
