Telehealth for Pediatric Gastroenterology Care Now: The Transition to Telehealth and the Impact of Webinar-Based Didactics.

ABSTRACT: With the coronavirus disease 2019 public health emergency (PHE), telehealth (TH) became essential for continued delivery of care. Members of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) formed the Telehealth for Pediatric Gastrointestinal Care Now (TPGCN) working group and rapidly organized a telemedicine webinar to provide education and guidance. We aim to describe the webinar development and prospectively assess the effectiveness of this webinar-based educational intervention.

Methods

NASPGHAN members who registered for the TPGCN webinar received pre- and post-webinar surveys. Outcome measures included a modified Telehealth Acceptance Model (TAM) survey and a Student Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ) standardized instrument.
