38/100

✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Risk factors

Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

The results of anonymous surveys conducted among the clinic9s providers are reported as descriptive findings. Results After the implementation of telemedicine services, the proportion of clinic encounters completed via VTC increased from 1.9% to 86.4%. There was a statistically significant decline in both the percentage of scheduled appointments that were canceled (32.9% vs 27.9%; p < 0.01) and total cancelations per month (mean 240.3 vs 179.4/mo; p < 0.01). The transition to telemedicine services did not significantly affect the clinic9s patient population as measured by age, gender, estimated income, area deprivation index, or self-reported racial/ethnic identity. The results of the provider survey revealed that physicians reported a more positive experience relative to neuropsychologists.
