WILMINGTON, Del. (April 30, 2021) - Social, economic, and demographic factors that can influence health did not affect families acceptance of telehealth for their children s cardiac care during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study presented at the Pediatric Academic Society 2021 Virtual Meeting. The study, by research team members at the Nemours Children s Health System, suggests that telehealth is a feasible tool for families regardless of household income, language, or insurance type. When we saw that the use of telehealth would be necessary for maintaining children s cardiac care during COVID, we worried that some of our families would face barriers in using it, said lead author Carissa M. Baker-Smith, MD, MPH, director of Preventive Cardiology at Nemours. We saw that these factors were not a barrier in families choice to use telehealth and in fact may have been a welcome option.
