Objective:To understand which types of Medicare patients with diabetes disproportionately used telehealth during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and how their characteristics mediated inpatient emergency department (ED) utilization. Methods:Logistic regression analyses were to measure associations between patient utilization using electronic health records among (n = 31,654). Propensity score matching was examine relative impact use in conjunction race, ethnicity, age on ED outcomes. Results:Telehealth associated (75–84 vs. 65–74; odds ratio [OR] 0.810, p < 0.01), gender (female: OR 1.148, chronic diseases (e.g., lung disease: 1.142; 0.01). Black less likely visit (estimate −0.018; 0.08), whereas younger beneficiaries experience an stay −0.017; 0.06). Conclusions:Telehealth expansion particularly benefited clinically vulnerable but saw uneven benefit along sociodemographic lines. Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT03136471.

Telehealth rapidly expanded since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to understand how telehealth can substitute in-person services by 1) estimating changes in non-COVID emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations, and care costs among US Medicare beneficiaries visit modality (telehealth vs. in-person) during pandemic relative previous year; 2) comparing follow-up time patterns between care.A retrospective longitudinal design using patients 65 years or older from an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). The period was April-December 2020, baseline March 2019 - February 2020. sample included 16,222 patients, 338,872 patient-month records 134,375 outpatient encounters. Patients were categorized as non-users, only, only users both types. Outcomes number unplanned events per month at patient level; days until next whether happened within 3-, 7-, 14- 30-days encounter level. All analyses adjusted for characteristics seasonal trends.Beneficiaries who used had comparable health conditions but healthier than those types services.

Abstract Digital health technologies are being utilized increasingly in the modern management of diabetes. These include tools such as continuous glucose monitoring systems, connected blood devices, hybrid closed‐loop smart insulin pens, telehealth, and smartphone applications (apps). Although many these have a solid evidence base, from perspective person living with diabetes, there remain multiple barriers preventing their optimal use, creating digital divide. In this article, we describe origins offer recommendations on widening access to for underserved populations diabetes improve outcomes.

Background Virtual consultations (VC) have transformed healthcare delivery, offering a convenient and effective way to manage chronic conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). This systematic review meta-analysis evaluated the impact of VC on quality care provided patients with T2D, mapping it across six domains US National Academy Medicine (NAM) quality-of-care framework (ie, effectiveness, efficiency, patient-centeredness, timeliness, safety, equity). Methods A search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane, Embase, CINAHL, Web Science for period between January 2010 December 2024. Eligible studies involved adult T2D patients, synchronous VCs, reported outcomes relevant NAM domains. Two independent reviewers performed screening, were assessed using Mixed Appraisal Tool (MMAT). narrative synthesis each domain, HbA1c levels random-effects models. Results In total, 15 involving 821 014 participants included.
