The cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction of telehealth in geriatric care: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Telehealth offers promising solutions to healthcare challenges in older adults, particularly in those with mobility constraints or limited access. However, the evidence regarding its cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction remains unclear.

Objectives

To evaluate the cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction of telehealth interventions in adults aged ≥ 65, with a focus on those aged ≥ 80.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for studies published between 2013 and 2024. The inclusion criteria focused on primary studies assessing the impact of telehealth on cost and satisfaction in geriatric care. Quality appraisal was performed using Cochrane, NOS, and CASP
