Telehealth Availability in US Hospitals in the Face of the COVID‐19 Pandemic 2020-06-30 .txt text/plain 2639 145 45 METHODS: Based on 2017 data from the American Hospital Association survey, Area Health Resource Files and Medicare cost reports, we used logistic regression models to identify predictors of telehealth and eICU capabilities in US hospitals. Hospitals' odds of possessing the capability to provide such services vary largely by region; overall, rural hospitals have more widespread telehealth capabilities than urban hospitals. This study utilized a cross-sectional analysis of acute care hospitals in the United States to examine the association between various organizational and environmental factors, and rural hospitals' possession of telehealth and eICU capabilities. Hospitals in rural areas were more likely to possess telehealth capabilities compared to hospitals in urban areas, although the odds ratio was only marginally significant (OR = 1.34, P < .10). We found that hospitals' odds of possessing such capabilities vary to a large extent by region; overall, the rural health system appears to have more widespread telehealth capabilities than urban hospitals. ./cache/cord-259510-6atk2pt0.txt ./txt/cord-259510-6atk2pt0.txt
