Clinicodemographic Profile and Clinical Outcome of Children Presenting to Telemedicine Center at Institute of National Importance of India: A Prospective Observational Study

CONCLUSION: Our study underscores telemedicine's positive impact on pediatric healthcare, emphasizing its potential to enhance access, outcomes, and cost-efficiency. Wider telemedicine adoption can reduce morbidity and mortality, support preventive care, and streamline posttreatment services, alleviating pressure on specialized facilities. While our focus was pediatrics, the telemedicine model is adaptable to various age groups and conditions, but it should be seen as a valuable supplement to, not a total substitute for, in-person healthcare visits.PMID:38327874 | PMC:PMC10849814 | DOI:10.1155/2024/5341988
