Ensuring Telemedicine Equity
In this month's issue of Health Affairs, Elaine Khoong offers a
perspective titled "Policy Considerations To Ensure Telemedicine Equity
"
in response to an article also featured in the issue by Sanuja Bose and
coauthors exploring the relationship between telemedicine use and Area
Deprivation Index
.
Khoong, a current fellow with the Health Affairs Health Equity
Fellowship for Trainees
, explains
that although telemedicine use exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic,
there has not been sufficient attention to disparities in access.
Payer, age, race and ethnicity, income, English language proficiency,
and geography can all affect telemedicine use.
The process of designing permanent, postpandemic telehealth policies
must center on equity, Khoong argues.
Although "equitable telemedicine access will be challenging in
fee-for-service models," she cautions, "if marginalized patients and
their needs are given priority in designing telemedicine policies,
telemedicine can mitigate inequities instead of exacerbating them."
