Telemedicine and e-Health: Utilization of Outpatient Tele-Mental Health Services

Telehealth visits rose from 0.5 percent in January 2020 to 55 percent in April 2020, decreasing to 18 percent by December 2021. Regression analysis showed that patients with psychotic, bipolar, or trauma-related, and two or more MH disorders had higher odds of telehealth usage compared with those with anxiety, while patients with substance-use disorders had lower odds.
