RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Achieving Equity in Telehealth: “Centering at the Margins” in Access, Provision, and Reimbursement JF The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine JO J Am Board Fam Med FD American Board of Family Medicine SP S29 OP S32 DO 10.3122/jabfm.2021.S1.200280 VO 34 IS Supplement A1 Westby, Andrea A1 Nissly, Tanner A1 Gieseker, Rebecca A1 Timmins, Kaleigh A1 Justesen, Kathryn YR 2021 UL http://www.jabfm.org/content/34/Supplement/S29.abstract AB The SARS-CoV-2 epidemic has led to rapid transformation of health care delivery and access with increased provision of telehealth services despite previously identified barriers and limitations to this care. While telehealth was initially envisioned to increase equitable access to care for under-resourced populations, the way in which telehealth provision is designed and implemented may result in worsening disparities if not thoughtfully done. This commentary seeks to demonstrate the opportunities for telehealth equity based on past research, recent developments, and a recent patient experience case example highlighting benefits of telehealth care in underserved patient populations. Recommendations to improve equity in telehealth provision include improved virtual visit technology with a focus on patient ease of use, strategies to increase access to video visit equipment, universal broadband wireless, and inclusion of telephone visits in CMS reimbursement criteria for telehealth.
