Résumé
To determine how telehealth has influenced outcomes in high-risk obstetrics patients during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A retrospective chart review was conducted to identify patterns in both telehealth and in-person clinic visits among patients of a Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) department from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 until October 2021. For the descriptive analysis, Four hundred nineteen high-risk patients visited the clinic via in-person and/or telehealth appointments during the study period: 320 patients without telehealth visits and 99 patients with telehealth visits. Care provided by telehealth visits was not found to be related to self-reported race ( Patients with certain pregnancy complications elected to have more telehealth visits. Patients with private insurance were more likely to have telehealth visits than patients with public insurance. There are benefits for patients with certain pregnancy complications to incorporate telehealth visits in addition to regularly scheduled in-person clinic visits and may be suitable in a post-pandemic setting as well. Further research in this field is needed to better understand the impact of implementing telehealth in high-risk obstetrics patients.
