ABSTRACT
Provision of healthcare services through telehealth continues to increase. This rise is driven by the several factors, such as improved access, decreased cost, patient convenience and positive patient satisfaction. Direct-to-patient (DTP) care delivery is the most popular form of telehealth. However, barriers exist to its widespread use in practice, such as lack of reimbursement, concern that the convenience of these services may raise utilization to the point that spending increases without increasing quality of care, concern about quality of care provided and low uptake by underrepresented or at risk populations. DTP offers opportunities to improve population health and provide value-based care within integrated health systems, but requires thoughtful implementation strategies that address patient and provider barriers to its use.
