Telemedicine in Higher Education: Evaluating Appointment Type Effectiveness in Primary Care

Telemedicine in Higher Education: Evaluating Appointment Type Effectiveness in Primary Care

This was a 2024 Annual Meeting session that was cancelled Saturday morning due to the Atlanta water main break. Open to all regardless of whether you attended the Annual Meeting.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the adaptation and demand for telemedicine has expanded, prompting Johns Hopkins University Student Health primary care to adopt a hybrid approach, offering both in-person and telemedicine visits. With the goal to increase access for a growing student population in the coming years. This session aims to share the QI study findings, which are focused on refining telemedicine scheduling and discerning optimal appointment types., These insights will help guide the effective allocation of chief complaints to either in-person or telemedicine visits for other practices, allowing for optimizing scalability and service accessibility
