ABSTRACT
Background:
Schedule design may contribute to successful completion of synchronous telehealth visits by video (versus audio-only). Clustering telehealth visits on schedules may minimize workflow inefficiencies.Methods:
We analyzed data from 21 primary care sites in an urban public health care system from March 1 to September 30, 2022. We used linear regression to test for associations between the number of consecutive telehealth visits scheduled per clinicians' half-day sessions (1 to 9+) and the proportion of telehealth visits scheduled and, separately, completed as video (versus audio-only).Results:
For each additional consecutive telehealth visit scheduled, there was a 6.85% [95% confidence interval 4.80 - 8.90%] increase in the absolute percentage of visits scheduled as video visits. For each additional consecutive telehealth visit scheduled, there was a 2.88% [0.59 - 5.18%] increase in the absolute percentage of visits completed as video visits.Conclusions:
Clustered telehealth visits are positively associated with scheduling and completion of telehealth visits by video.
