Declining or Waning
- Traditional Face-to-Face Care Comparisons:
Research comparing telehealth with traditional face-to-face care has decreased as telehealth becomes more mainstream. The focus is shifting towards optimizing telehealth itself rather than contrasting it with in-person visits. - Telehealth for Non-Urgent Conditions:
The volume of studies addressing telehealth for non-urgent conditions has waned, likely due to the increased prioritization of urgent and chronic care management during the COVID-19 pandemic. - General Surveys on Telehealth Acceptance:
Generalized surveys assessing patient and provider acceptance of telehealth are less frequent, with a shift toward more specific and nuanced studies that explore particular populations or conditions. - Telehealth Utilization Trends During COVID-19:
As the pandemic evolves, research specifically focused on telehealth utilization trends during COVID-19 is decreasing, with a growing interest in post-pandemic implications and sustained telehealth practices. - Telehealth Training for Providers:
Research on telehealth training programs for healthcare providers has diminished, suggesting a shift in focus towards implementation and outcomes rather than foundational training.
