Telehealth Education: Impact on Provider Experience and Adoption.

ABSTRACT:

Background

COVID-19 propelled telehealth to the forefront of health care, forcing many advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to incorporate telehealth into their practice without sufficient education. Lack of training has been cited as a barrier to telehealth adoption.

Purpose

This study evaluated provider adoption of telehealth based on the type of telehealth education received.

Methods

A quantitative survey of telehealth providers (n = 224) was distributed through the listservs of 4 national organizations to determine whether there was a significant difference in provider levels of perceived usefulness, self-efficacy, perceived knowledge, satisfaction, and use of telehealth based on the type of telehealth education received.

Results

Telehealth adoption
