"My concern is that somebody will develop a big model based on a very
heterogeneous data set that may not reflect the risk profile or the
patient profile of an individual hospital. I’d hate to see them
penalized or made to look like they’re not performing well when the
model was never designed to be used in their environment." - Robert Cima, MD, Medical Director, Mayo Clinic Hospital-Rochester |

A study conducted at Kaiser Permanente in Southern California found that
telehealth visits increased sharply after the start of the pandemic
across all subgroups. Across age groups, the telehealth visits increased
the most among children ages 0 to 5 years and the least among adults age
65 and older. Telehealth visits increased more among males (293.9%) than
females (260%) during the early pandemic. Patients who were in the
low-income group had the largest increase (313.5%) in telehealth visits. Source: Care Analytics News, Volume 14 Number 18, September 2021 Second Edition, "Vulnerable Populations Sought Virtual Care During Pandemic." |
